Made with just a few simple ingredients—Bisquick, sour cream, 7-Up, and butter—these biscuits are incredibly easy to prepare and bake up perfectly every time. They’re soft, fluffy, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side for any meal. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bisquick – A versatile baking mix that simplifies the biscuit-making process.
- 1 cup sour cream – Adds moisture and a tangy flavor to the biscuits.
- 1 cup 7-Up – The carbonation helps to make the biscuits light and fluffy.
- 1/2 cup melted butter – Adds richness and flavor, and is also used to coat the pan.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of Bisquick, 1 cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of 7-Up. Mix until just combined. The dough will be very soft, but that’s expected.
- Knead and Fold:
- Sprinkle some Bisquick onto a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and lightly knead it, folding it over a few times until it is coated with the baking mix. This will help to make the dough easier to handle.
- Cut the Biscuits:
- Pat the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits. If you don’t have a cutter, you can also cut the dough into squares with a knife.
- Prepare the Pan:
- Pour the melted butter into the bottom of your baking sheet or casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Arrange the Biscuits:
- Place the cut biscuits on top of the melted butter in the pan. Arrange them close together so they rise up rather than spread out.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm!
Tips for Success
- Handling the Dough: The dough will be sticky and soft. Be sure to coat it lightly with Bisquick to prevent it from sticking to your hands or the work surface.
- Butter Coating: The melted butter adds flavor and helps to crisp the bottoms of the biscuits, so don’t skip this step.
- Bisquick Mix: Ensure the Bisquick is evenly distributed in the dough to avoid clumps and achieve a uniform texture.
Variations
- Cheesy Biscuits: Add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the dough for a cheesy twist.
- Herbed Biscuits: Mix in 1-2 teaspoons of dried herbs, like rosemary or thyme, for extra flavor.
- Garlic Biscuits: Incorporate 1-2 teaspoons of garlic powder into the dough for a garlicky touch.
These 7 Up Biscuits are a perfect addition to any meal. With their soft, fluffy texture and rich, buttery flavor, they are sure to become a favorite in your household. The simplicity of the recipe means you can have fresh, homemade biscuits with minimal effort. Enjoy them with breakfast, alongside your favorite soups, or as a tasty snack.
