Ingredients
- 1/3 cup melted butter divided
- 2 1/4- 1/2 cup bisquick mix
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup 7 up
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour ¼ cup of melted butter into the bottom of a cast iron skillet.
- Next mix together bisquick, sour cream and 7 up in a medium sized bowl until a dough is formed. Start with 2 cups and then add a 1/4 cup of bisquick until you get the consistency you desire and it is easier to work with.
- Add flour to a work surface and turn dough out. Add flour to your hands and the top of the dough. Roll out or press out with your hands to about 1 inch thickness. Cut dough in circles using the rim of a coffee mug or cookie cutter and add to skillet. Make sure you flour the rim or it will stick.
- Bake biscuits for 8-10 minute. If you want to add more golden brown color, you can broil for just a few seconds. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes.
- While biscuits cool, brush remaining butter on top of biscuits and serve.

Thanks to this recipe, I’m no longer allowed to buy frozen biscuits. As a matter of fact, the last two in our freezer were tossed after having made this recipe one time. This is so simple, anyone can make them and talk about quick… They can be whipped in no time! I think what I have found to be amazing, though, is just how soft and tender these biscuits are the next day. Simply delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Jocelyn!
I’ve made this recipe with beer. It gives the biscuits a great sour dough taste.
