We love sour cream and onion biscuits for breakfast and family dinners, but they're a must with holiday ham!

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim your scallions and thinly slice them, both white and green parts. Add the snipped chives and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, ranch seasoning, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and baking soda. I prefer to do this in my food processor, and I pulse to combine.
- Add in the butter, cut in pieces. If doing by hand, rub or cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand and there are no clumps of butter left. I do this in the processor, by pulsing 20-25 times.
- Add the scallions and chives and toss to combine. If using a food processor, now is the time to move to a bowl.
- Fold in the sour cream and mix until the dough starts to come together (it will be crumbly.) I found that my dough was very dry, so I needed to add a bit of milk to get it to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together with your hands. Pat it into an 8x4 rectangle.
- Fold one third of the dough into the center. Then fold again, just like a letter. Don't worry, this will be messy and not exact.
- Pat the dough into the 8x4 rectangle again and repeat the fold.
- Pat the dough back into the 8x4 rectangle.* Now slice the rectangle in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 4 squares.
- Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk or melted butter.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until risen and golden.
Notes
- *For your final rectangle, use your bench scraper or the side of your knife to square off the edges. This will help make even edged biscuits.
