Braided Biscuits - cute biscuits to make your holiday table pretty and surprise your guests!

Directions

In your food processor, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the butter and process until you get crumb-like texture. Add the sour cream and mix until the dough forms a ball. (Of course, you can make all this mixing by hand as well).
Take the ball out of food processor, flatten it and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
On a floured counter, take walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into 1/2-inch thick and 5 inches long strand. Your hands should be dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Do the same with 2 more strands. Pinch the top of all three ends together, then make them into a braid. Pinch the ends together. You may need to add a drop of water if the dough will not stick together. Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough.
Transfer braids to a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Braids should be about 1 inch apart.
Bake in a preheated 450 F (230 C) oven until golden, about 12 minutes.
