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, plus extra ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter for layering
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking flaky biscuits.
- Melt Butter in Baking Dish: Place ½ cup (1 stick) of salted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the preheating oven. Allow the butter to melt completely, watching carefully to prevent it from burning.
- Mix Dough Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, sour cream, and 7-Up. Stir gently until the mixture just comes together; the dough will be soft and sticky. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a surface and transfer the dough onto it. Gently pat it down to about ½-inch thickness, preparing it for cutting.
- Cut Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out biscuit shapes from the dough.
- Arrange Biscuits in Butter: Place the cut biscuits directly into the baking dish over the melted butter, ensuring they sit snugly but not too tightly.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Let the biscuits cool slightly after removing from the oven. Serve warm for the best buttery, fluffy experience.
Notes
- The use of regular sour cream (not light) is crucial for the richness and texture of these biscuits.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Keeping the biscuits slightly touching in the baking dish helps them rise evenly and stay soft.
- Watching the butter while it melts prevents it from burning, which would impart a bitter taste.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
