60 minutes

Sour cream biscuits with Cheddar are a fragrant and airy treat that combines the tenderness of creamy dough with the rich flavor of aged cheese. Their roots trace back to European cuisine, where such baked goods are valued for their simplicity and rich taste. The addition of jalapeño gives the dough a slight spiciness that highlights the cheesy depth. They are perfect as an accompaniment to morning coffee, as part of a hearty breakfast, or as a standalone snack. The crispy crust and soft, rich filling make them an excellent choice for cozy family tea time or festive gatherings. Serve them with butter, fresh herbs, or a slice of ham to emphasize their gastronomic versatility.
