Sour Cream and Onion Biscuits

Name: Sour Cream and Onion Biscuits
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1½ tsp. Morton kosher salt; 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper; 1¾ tsp. baking powder; ½ tsp. baking soda; 1¼ tsp. sugar; 2½ cups (313 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for surface; 10 Tbsp. chilled unsalted butter, cut into (½") pieces, plus 2 Tbsp. melted; 8 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise (not on a diagonal); 1¼ cups sour cream, plus more for serving; Flaky sea salt

Instructions

Sour cream isn’t just a gimmick. Used in place of the more typical cream or buttermilk, it adds a rich, tangy flavor, and its acidity helps make the biscuits incredibly tender.
