These were great. Quick to make and very good. I subbed fat-free Greek yogurt for the sour cream to make it a little lighter. Wouldn't recommend freezing uncooked dough for later. It didn't rise as well.
Sour Cream, Cheddar, and Green Onion Drop Biscuits
Roll out these biscuits, or drop into 12 muffin tins and bake the same amount of time. These are best the same day they're baked, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to two days. To warm them, wrap loosely in aluminum foil, and place in a 300° oven for five to 10 minutes.
Yield: 1 dozen (serving size: 1 biscuit)
