Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 g) butter melted (salted or unsalted, see notes)
- 2 cups (250 g) baking mix such as Bisquick
- 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) lemon-lime soda such as 7-Up (Sprite or ginger ale also work)
To Flour Surface
- all-purpose flour for dusting countertop
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- 9-inch square baking dish
- Oven
- Biscuit cutter or glass
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the butter into a 9-inch square baking dish and set it in the oven while preheating so the butter melts. Watch carefully so it doesn't brown or burn; remove the dish once the butter is melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, sour cream, and lemon-lime soda. Stir just until combined—a few lumps are fine. The dough will be very sticky, like thick mashed potatoes.
- Generously flour a clean countertop. Turn out the dough and lightly pat or press it to about 1-inch thickness. Do not knead.
- Cut biscuits using a round cutter, glass, or by cutting squares. Gently gather scraps and re-press to use all dough.
- Place biscuits into the hot baking dish with melted butter, nesting them closely but not packed tight. The butter should pool around and under each biscuit.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown on top and puffed. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm.
Notes
You can use unsalted butter—just add a pinch of salt to your dough if you like your biscuits a bit salty. Biscuits are best served fresh and hot from the oven. Brush with honey butter or top with jam for a sweet twist, or add a sprinkle of shredded cheese and chopped herbs for savory flavors. Leftovers keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for best results.
