Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits
- 4 ½ cups Bisquick or similar baking mix
- 1 cup sour cream (avoid using light sour cream)
- 1 cup 7-Up or similar lemon-lime soda
For Baking
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter (to melt in baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for perfectly baked biscuits.
- Melt Butter in Baking Dish: Place ½ cup of salted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the preheating oven to melt. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine 4 ½ cups Bisquick, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 cup 7-Up. Stir gently just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the dough soft and sticky.
- Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it down to about ½-inch thickness.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out biscuits from the dough.
- Arrange Biscuits: Place the cut biscuits directly into the baking dish with the melted butter to coat the bottoms and edges as they bake.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit tops turn golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to ensure biscuits stay tender and flaky.
- Use full-fat sour cream for best results; light sour cream may affect texture.
- Keep an eye on the butter while melting in the oven to prevent it from burning.
- If you don’t have lemon-lime soda, you can substitute with another carbonated soda, but 7-Up is preferred for flavor.
- Serve warm for the best buttery, soft biscuit experience.
