3-Step Biscuits or How to Break up With Your Girlfriend Biscuits

A light-as-air biscuit with a new twist on texture and flavor. This one is from Southern Living magazine (April 1998).

• Ready In: 28 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 2  cups self-rising flour
• 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
• 3  tablespoons water

Directions

1. Stir together all ingredients (dough will be crumbly).
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
3. Knead 3 or 4 times.
4. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 2 1/2 inch round cutter, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.

6. -----------------------------------------------------.
7. NOTE: Keep in mind that the secret for making excellent biscuits is-- Try not to handle dough too much or too firmly-- The less manipulation (kneading, handling dough a lot with hands) the better the texture.
8. Now, About the bad reviews, please know this: In order for this to work, YOU MUST USE SELF RISING FLOUR. So go follow it "to a T" and if your girlfriend wants to break up with you over failed biscuits -- well, she is superficial and you'd be wise to break up with her before she breaks up with you! And always remember this: If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.
