With 4 simple ingredients, you can make buttery, flaky biscuits like the ones you get at KFC or McDonald's. Homemade biscuits have never been easier!
Ingredients
½cupbuttermelted
4 ¼cupsBisquickplus additional for dusting work surface
1cup7-Up
1cupsour cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix the Bisquick, 7-Up, and sour cream together until a dough is formed. The dough will be very soft and sticky.
Sprinkle additional biscuit mix over your work area. Turn the dough out, and fold and work the dough just a little bit until it becomes easier to work with. Then, pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick circle. (You can roll the dough out with a rolling pin, but I use my hands.)
Dip a biscuit cutter (or the rim of a drinking glass) in biscuit mix, then use it to cut out the biscuits. Place the biscuits in the baking dish on top of the melted butter.
Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Brush the tops with additional melted butter, if desired.
Notes
You can halve the recipe in a 9-inch pan and bake for about 10 minutes.
The dough is soft and sticky. Dusting your hands, work surface, and biscuit cutter with Bisquick helps.
Do not overmix or overwork the dough. Doing so may cause the biscuits to not be as light and fluffy as they should be. Only mix and work the dough as much as needed.
Instead of melting the butter in the microwave, you can place it in the baking dish and let it melt in the oven while it preheats.
If you aren’t worried about perfectly round biscuits, feel free to skip the biscuit cutter and just drop the dough into the baking pan by the spoonful.
For square biscuits use a knife to cut the dough into 26 squares.
Leftover biscuits can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. They freeze well, too!
