Ingredients

2 cups Baking Mix Bisquick
½ cup sour cream full fat, chilled
½ cup 7UP chilled, any lemon-lime soda
flour for rolling out the biscuits and cutting
¼ cup butter melted, plus extra for brushing

Instructions

Preparation

Pour melted butter into an 8-inch round baking dish or a 9-10 inch cast iron skillet. Set aside.
¼ cup butter
Preheat your oven to 425°F

Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, add Bisquick and sour cream. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles small crumbs.
½ cup sour cream , 2 cups Baking Mix
Pour in the soda and gently mix until just combined (no dry Bisquick should remain). Avoid overmixing.
½ cup 7UP

Shape the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Flour your hands and fold the dough over itself 6-8 times. You are trying to make it not so sticky. However, be careful not to overwork it.
flour
Pat dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Use a floured biscuit cutter (don’t twist!) to cut out biscuits. place them on a plate or small baking sheet.
Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut more biscuits as needed. Add more flour to your working surface if needed.

Chill the Dough

Place the plate of biscuits in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the butter in a 9-inch round pan. Once the oven is hot, put the pan with the butter in for just a few minutes until the butter melts. Keep a close eye on it to prevent the butter from burning.
Place the cut and chilled biscuits on top of melted butter in the pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven, and brush warm biscuits with 1-2 tablespoons of melted butter. Serve immediately.

Notes

Important Prep Tips Before Starting the Recipe:

Keep both the sour cream and 7-Up in the fridge until you're ready to mix. Cold ingredients are key to fluffy, tender biscuits. Warm dough just won’t rise as well.
Melt the butter in your baking dish while the oven preheats. This creates that rich, golden bottom crust we all love.
After cutting your biscuits, place them in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before baking to firm up the fat and help the biscuits puff beautifully in the oven.

Common Mistakes When Making This Recipe:

Overmixing the dough: Stir just until everything comes together. Overworking it can make the biscuits dense instead of light and airy.
Twisting the cutter: When cutting out biscuits, press straight down. Twisting seals the edges and prevents them from rising.
Crowding the pan: Leave a little space between biscuits if you want crisper edges, or nestle them close for soft pull-apart sides. Choose based on the texture you love.
