Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- Super Flaky & Tender: The combination of sour cream and soda creates incredible texture.
- Loaded with Butter: Every bite is rich and flavorful thanks to the pool of melted butter they bake in.
- No Yeast Required: Made with pantry staples and ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients (Makes 12–15 biscuits):
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 4½ cups Bisquick or similar baking mix
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (7-Up or Sprite works well)
- 1 cup sour cream (do not use light or reduced-fat)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat and Melt Butter
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) .
Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and place it in the oven to melt. Once fully melted, remove the pan from the oven but keep it preheated.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick , lemon-lime soda , and sour cream . Stir gently until everything comes together into a sticky dough.
The dough will be thick and slightly wet—this is normal!
Step 3: Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more Bisquick, one tablespoon at a time, just until manageable.
Pat or roll the dough into a 1-inch thick circle .
Step 4: Cut and Place Biscuits
Using a round biscuit cutter or glass (about 2–3 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits. Gently press the remaining dough together to form additional biscuits.
Place each biscuit into the prepared baking dish, nestling them into the melted butter.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes , or until the tops are golden brown and crisp.
Step 6: Let Them Rest
Once baked, let the biscuits sit in the pan for 2–3 minutes before serving. This allows them to soak up the melted butter for maximum flavor and richness.
Serve warm and enjoy every buttery bite!
Tips for Success:
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to keep the biscuits tender and avoid toughness.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, bring the sour cream and soda to room temperature before mixing.
- Double the Batch: These biscuits disappear fast! Make two batches if you’re feeding a crowd.
