Brown Sugar Biscuits
Soft and tender biscuits sweetened with brown sugar and dotted with crunchy pecans.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 T baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 5 T cold butter
- ⅓ cup finely chopped pecans preferably toasted
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup milk
Topping:
- 1 Tbsp milk or cream
- 1 ½ Tbsp cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Cut in butter with a pastry brush. (Or simply grate the butter in.) Add pecans.
- Stir the sour cream and milk together and add. Mix everything together with a fork till just blended. Don't overmix!
- Knead 3 or 4 times and pat to 1/2" thick on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut biscuits and place on cookie sheets. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with a little sugar.
- 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!
