Many years ago, a friend shared her favorite recipe for sour cream biscuits with me. Since then, I’ve made those biscuits or a variation of them countless times. These Sour Cream and Chive Biscuits are a simple twist on that same recipe with the addition of chopped chives and a hint of garlic.

With a short list of ingredients and no rolling or cutting involved, these biscuits are so quick and easy to make that you can whip them up as a last minute addition to your dinner. We like to pair them with many different foods, but they’re just perfect with a big bowl of soup.

I love the flavor of sour cream biscuits with their subtle tanginess and soft texture. The chives add a nice flavor punch with just a small amount. You can substitute green onions if you like, but you may want to add a little extra to try to match the flavor of the chives.

To make these biscuits as easy to make as possible, I highly recommend the use of a cookie scoop to portion the dough. It makes quick work of scooping the biscuit dough, and it helps ensure even baking by having all of the biscuits be the same size.

  1. These biscuits sound.simple and delicious. Got to try them.

  2. These look delicious! I’ll definitely be making them for the dinner table some time.

  3. wow, how wonderful, I’m making these when I can do my “cheat day” on my diet, exactly the kind of stuff I’m missing, that is savory biscuits, strictly forbidden during diet house, thank you for this recipe!

  4. Can I use buttermilk?

    • Hi, Cheryl. For the best results, you’d likely also need to adjust the leavening agents in the recipe. But, a straight substitution will probably work well enough if you don’t have regular milk.

  5. loved them. so good
