Ingredients:
- 4 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup 7-Up (or any clear soda)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix with the sour cream. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Gradually pour in the 7-Up, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms. The dough should be sticky but manageable.
Step 2: Knead and Shape
- Sprinkle a flat surface with a little additional Bisquick mix to prevent sticking. Turn the dough out onto the surface.
- Gently knead the dough, folding it over a few times until it is smooth and coated with the Bisquick mix. Use additional mix as needed to prevent sticking.
- Pat the dough out until it’s about 1 inch thick. For uniformly thick biscuits, try to keep the dough even throughout.
Step 3: Cut the Biscuits
- Using a round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits from the dough. Push straight down without twisting the cutter to ensure the biscuits can rise properly during baking.
Step 4: Prepare the Pan
- Pour the melted butter into the bottom of your chosen baking pan, either a cookie sheet or a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 5: Bake
- Arrange the biscuits on the buttered pan so that they are close but not touching. This positioning helps the biscuits rise upwards instead of spreading out.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Step 6: Serve
- Remove the biscuits from the oven. They are best served warm, with additional butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
Serving Suggestions:
- These biscuits are perfect with a hearty meal like stew or fried chicken, or as a base for a savory biscuit sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese.
- For a sweet twist, drizzle honey or serve with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries.
Storage Tips:
- Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving to restore their warmth and texture.
Enjoy your 7-Up Biscuits, a delightful and easy recipe that brings a unique twist to your biscuit-making repertoire, ensuring fluffy, tender results every time!
