Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Dry Ingredients
- 0.25 oz packet instant yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
- 2½ cups Bisquick baking mix (plus more as needed)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Warm Sour Cream and Activate Yeast: In a large microwave-safe bowl, warm the sour cream in the microwave for about 1 minute until it reaches 110°F to 115°F on an instant-read thermometer. Stir in the honey and instant yeast until well blended, allowing the yeast to begin activating.
- Form and Knead Dough: Add the Bisquick baking mix to the sour cream mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms, adding a bit more Bisquick if needed to achieve the right consistency. Stretch and fold the dough several times in the bowl, or turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape and Proof Rolls: Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape each into a ball, and place them in the prepared pan. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat Oven and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F while the dough rises. Uncover the rolls and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
- Prepare Garlic Butter and Serve: While the rolls bake, stir the garlic powder into the melted butter. Immediately after baking, brush the garlic butter over the warm rolls to add a savory flavor. Serve the rolls warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the sour cream is warmed to the right temperature to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
- If the dough is too sticky, add Bisquick a tablespoon at a time to avoid making the rolls tough.
- Proofing the dough in a warm environment helps the rolls rise better and creates a fluffier texture.
- You can substitute garlic powder with fresh minced garlic for a stronger flavor.
- For extra softness, cover the hot rolls with a clean kitchen towel after baking to retain steam.
