Preheat oven to 450°.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir with a whisk to combine.
Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands, cut in the butter until the pieces are VERY small--almost unnoticeable.
Add in the cheese and toss well.
Stir in the buttermilk and sour cream just until moist. Do not overmix.
On a foil or parchment-lined and greased baking sheet, drop about 1/3 cup of the dough per biscuit, leaving 1-2 inches in between.
Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove biscuits from pan and let cool.

*You can replace all 2 cups of flour with white whole wheat flour make sure it’s the “white” variety. They will turn out the same but will be 100% whole grain!
Leftover biscuits can become stale or dry if not stored properly after baking. Follow these tips for the best method of storing biscuits:
- Allow the biscuits to cool completely before storing them.
- Place the biscuits in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag.
- If you are stacking the biscuits, place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
- Store the biscuits at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
There are two ways to reheat biscuits:
- Oven: Place them on a sheet pan, brush the tops with melted butter (if desired), cover with foil, and heat at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes.
- Microwave: Place biscuits on a plate. Microwave in about 20-second increments until warmed through. This method may result in a little soggier or tougher finished product, so don’t overdo it.
