Have you ever tried homemade brown sugar biscuits? This version is extra tasty, thanks to a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping, and a sprinkling of chopped pecans. Perfect any time of day!

I found this recipe for pecan cinnamon sour cream biscuits on one of my favorite cooking blogs, your homebased mom. Leigh Anne is such a nice lady and has many more wonderful recipes that I can’t wait to try. I followed her biscuit recipe almost exactly.

These are the changes I made: I used fat free sour cream and salted butter (that’s all I had). I also brushed the tops of the biscuits with milk and sprinkled a little cinnamon  sugar on them. It makes the tops really pretty and adds a slightly sweet crunch.

These biscuits are really tasty and were enjoyed by my whole family! Thanks Leigh Anne!

Brown Sugar Biscuits

Soft and tender biscuits sweetened with brown sugar and dotted with crunchy pecans.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 14 minutes
Total Time 29 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 5 T cold butter
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans, preferably toasted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk

Topping:

  • 1 Tbsp milk or cream
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Cut in butter with a pastry brush. (Or simply grate the butter in.) Add pecans.
  3. Stir the sour cream and milk together and add. Mix everything together with a fork till just blended. Don't overmix!
  4. Knead 3 or 4 times and pat to 1/2" thick on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Cut biscuits and place on cookie sheets. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with a little sugar.
  6. Bake the biscuits at 425° for 12-14 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.

Notes

-For light biscuits, you don't want to overwork the dough, so use a gentle touch.
-I have used fat free sour cream before, and the biscuits don't raise as tall, but they still taste marvelous!

    I’m going to try these biscuits.
    I always make regular biscuits.
    I’m taking these over to my daughter’s house for brunch.
    I can’t wait to see how these turn out.
