Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 4 ½ cups Bisquick
• ½ cup salted butter, melted
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup 7-Up (or similar lemon-lime soda)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine Bisquick, sour cream, and 7-Up. Stir until a soft dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
3. Shape the biscuits: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough gently a few times. Roll or pat it out to about ½-inch thickness. Cut into biscuit rounds using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
4. Prepare the pan: Pour melted butter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the biscuits on top of the butter.
5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
6. Serve & Enjoy: Let biscuits cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or gravy.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit mix instead of Bisquick?

Yes! Use 4 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup butter as a substitute.

Can I use diet soda?

Yes, but it may slightly affect the flavor and texture.

Why does the soda make the biscuits rise?

The carbonation in 7-Up helps create a light and fluffy texture.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the dough, cut out the biscuits, and refrigerate them overnight before baking.

What if my dough is too sticky?

Lightly dust your hands and work surface with Bisquick or flour before kneading.

Can I use unsalted butter?

Yes, but you may want to add a pinch of salt to the dough.

Do I have to knead the dough?

Only lightly—over-kneading can make the biscuits dense.

What can I serve with these biscuits?

They pair well with butter, jam, honey, sausage gravy, or fried chicken.

Can I bake these in a muffin tin?

Yes, but they may take a couple of extra minutes to bake through.

How do I get extra golden biscuits?

Brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
