Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
Biscuits
- 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 ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the biscuits.
- Melt Butter: Place the ½ cup of salted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the preheating oven. Melt the butter completely while monitoring closely to avoid burning.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine 4 ½ cups Bisquick, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 cup 7-Up. Stir gently until just combined; the dough should be soft and sticky. Do not overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it down to approximately ½-inch thickness.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out the biscuits from the dough.
- Arrange Biscuits: Place the biscuits directly into the baking dish with the melted butter ensuring they are snug but not overcrowded.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy them fresh for the best buttery experience.
Notes
- Use full-fat sour cream for the best texture and flavor; light sour cream can alter the biscuit consistency.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Watching the butter while melting is important to prevent burning, which can impart a bitter taste.
- Serving these biscuits warm enhances their buttery flavor and fluffiness.
