Everyone is baking bread. It’s the cool thing to do because what else are you doing right now.. but bread is just a little too advanced for me and while I may get to that point, we don’t really NEED bread so that time will come. Instead, I’ve decided to try to make Bon Appetit’s Sour cream and onion biscuits which I saw on instagram (and possibly twitter too).

This recipe is from basically so it’s SUPER simple and easy. There are 9 ingredients and it doesn’t require any eggs or proofing time. Just make the dough and bake. Easy. I was a little nervous because the dough started off pretty scraggly and didn’t come together the same way different doughs might but Basically has great videos that help you know what to do step by step so I just trusted the process and did what the instructions said. I popped the biscuits in the oven and baked for 20mins. The whole time they were baking, the kitchen smelled great. I was super pumped for them to come out and they got really nice and golden. They did look a little lighter than I was expected and I got a little nervous about the amount of rise they got (or lack of rise really).

I let them cool for a little out of the oven and split one open and it was really nice how the layers came apart fluffed up. I did take a smaller one and it was baked really well but I’m still a little nervous for the larger biscuits that were a little more centered in the dough rectangle. The green onions inside kept the biscuit a little wetter than I wanted but everything was still baked through in the middle. It was warm and soft on the inside but crisp on the outside. I’ll eat another one for breakfast and see how they held up. Maybe I’ll adjust the oven temp to bake them a little lower and slower to ensure the middles are done next time but these are a must bake again. I love them so much and I’m super pumped with how easy they were to make.
