Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (or 946 ml) Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup (or 240 ml) sour cream
- 1 cup (or 240 ml) lemon-lime soda (7-Up)
- ½ cup (or 120 ml) melted butter
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: Combine Bisquick and sour cream in a large mixing bowl, blending thoroughly until a uniform consistency develops.
- Dough Formation: Pour 7-Up into the mixture, gently stirring to create a soft, pliable dough that holds together smoothly.
- Dough Handling: Dust a clean work surface with Bisquick, transfer the dough, and knead delicately, folding multiple times to ensure even texture and distribution.
- Shaping Process: Roll or press the dough to approximately 1-inch thickness, then use a round cookie cutter to create uniform biscuit shapes.
- Butter Preparation: Melt butter and spread evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a rich, golden base.
- Baking Arrangement: Carefully place biscuit rounds in the buttered dish, positioning them with slight spacing to allow proper rising and browning.
- Oven Technique: Position the dish on the center rack of an oven preheated to 425°F, baking for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits achieve a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Serving Suggestion: Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes, then serve warm, optionally accompanied by additional butter or preferred spread.
Notes
- Dough Hydration Tip: Mix sour cream and 7-Up slowly to control moisture and prevent overly wet or dry biscuit texture.
- Kneading Technique: Fold dough gently 4-5 times maximum to maintain tender, flaky layers without developing tough gluten.
- Butter Application: Ensure melted butter covers entire baking dish bottom evenly for consistent golden, crispy biscuit bottoms.
- Baking Temperature Warning: Use exact 425°F and center rack position to achieve perfect golden-brown exterior with soft, fluffy interior.
