Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
Dough
- 4 ½ cups Bisquick or similar baking mix
- 1 cup 7-Up or similar lemon-lime soda
- 1 cup sour cream (avoid using light sour cream)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it hot and ready for baking the biscuits.
- Melt Butter: Place the stick of salted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the preheating oven. Let the butter melt completely, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine 4 ½ cups Bisquick, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 cup 7-Up soda. Stir gently until just combined; the dough will be soft and sticky so avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Pat Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently press down to about ½-inch thickness. This helps create the perfect biscuit texture.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out the biscuit shapes from the dough.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the cut biscuits directly into the baking dish with the melted butter, ensuring they are snug but not overcrowded.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat sour cream for the best texture and flavor; light sour cream will not yield the same buttery richness.
- Keep an eye on the butter while melting to prevent it from burning.
- Do not overwork the dough to keep biscuits tender and flaky.
- These biscuits are best served fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven.
- You can substitute lemon-lime soda with any clear soda, but avoid using diet versions for proper rising.
