Ingredients

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

Salted butter
Bisquick or similar baking mix
7-Up or similar lemon-lime soda
Sour cream (avoid light varieties for best texture)

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare Baking Dish: Place the stick of salted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the oven while it preheats to melt the butter. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix and sour cream. Mix until crumbly. Add the 7-Up and stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat or roll it to about ¾-inch thickness. Cut into 12 even biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.
Bake: Carefully remove the baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Place the biscuits directly into the hot butter in the dish. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, ideally straight from the pan.

FAQs

Can I use a different baking mix?

Yes, any all-purpose baking mix similar to Bisquick will work.

Is it necessary to use 7-Up?

7-Up provides both sweetness and lift. You can substitute with Sprite or a similar lemon-lime soda.

Can I use light sour cream?

It’s best to use full-fat sour cream for the right texture and moisture.

What if I don’t have a biscuit cutter?

A drinking glass, cookie cutter, or even a sharp knife can be used to cut the biscuits.

Why bake the biscuits in butter?

The butter crisps the bottoms while infusing rich, savory flavor throughout.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

It’s best baked fresh, but you can mix and refrigerate the dough for a few hours before baking.

How do I keep biscuits from sticking to the pan?

The butter creates a nonstick layer, but you can also use parchment paper for added ease.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?

Yes, full-fat plain Greek yogurt is a good substitute.

Do I need to knead the dough?

No, just gently mix and pat out—overworking will make them tough.

What should I serve these with?

They pair wonderfully with breakfast dishes, fried chicken, stews, or even as a base for biscuits and gravy.
