What You'll Need
🥄 Simple Ingredients
- 2½ cups baking mix (or Bisquick)
- ½ cup 7UP or Sprite (or any lemon-lime soda)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup butter, melted
Let's Make These Fluffy Beauties
Preheat and Mix
Heat your oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups of baking mix, the soda, and sour cream until just combined. Don't overmix - lumpy is lovely!
Prepare the Dough
Sprinkle the counter with the remaining baking mix and dump the dough out on it. Get some flour on your hands and pat the dough out to about ½ inch thick.
The Magic Fold
Fold the dough into quarters, then pat down again to about ½ inch thick. This creates those beautiful flaky layers!
Butter Bath
Pour the melted butter into a pie pan or 8x8 baking dish. Cut the biscuits out and place them in the pan of butter - they should be sitting in that golden goodness!
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 13 to 16 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell absolutely divine!
Grandma's Secret Tips
Sides Touching
When placing the biscuits in the pan, make sure their sides are touching. This helps them rise higher and stay soft!
Foil Protection
If the tops start to get too dark, lay a piece of foil on top of the partially cooked biscuits to finish cooking without burning.
Soda Magic
The carbonation in the soda is what makes these so light and fluffy - don't use flat soda!
Butter Bath
Don't skip the butter in the pan - it creates the most amazing crispy bottom and keeps them moist!
