Sour Cream Biscuits

My dad used to make sour cream biscuits almost every weekend for as long as I can remember.  When we were old enough, he let us put on his apron and chef hat (yup, totally) to help cut out biscuits of every conceivable shape; well, of the cookie cutter shapes we had.  I distinctly remember being covered in flour, bringing my mom biscuits and juice in bed every chance we got.  I don’t think biscuits were her favorite breakfast food, but she at least pretended to like them while we pressed our faces to hers to make sure she had some breakfast.

As an adult, my childlike impulses led me to purchase an insane amount of cookie cutters.  Said impulses also led me to make biscuits for breakfast because they’re delicious and we didn’t have any milk for cereal.  The only thing I change consistantly from my dad’s original recipe:  I always use butter instead of crisco.  It’s easier cleanup and butter is awesome.  (Also I don’t have crisco).
