How to Make Sour Cream Biscuits:

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Use a pastry blender or fork to cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand and the crumbs are pea sized.
Add the sour cream and stir until the dough come together. You may need to add more sour cream if it is dry and crumbly.
