Why Make This Recipe
This recipe is simple and quick to make, needing just a few ingredients that you might already have in your pantry. The use of 7-Up or any lemon-lime soda adds a unique twist, making the biscuits exceptionally light and fluffy. Plus, who doesn’t love the taste of melted butter soaking into warm biscuits? It’s a delightful treat for any occasion!
How to Make Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 4½ cups Bisquick (or a similar all-purpose baking mix)
- 1 cup 7-Up (or a similar lemon-lime soda)
- 1 cup sour cream (don’t use light)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- Put the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and place the dish in the oven until the butter is melted. Remove from the oven.
- In a large bowl, stir together the Bisquick, 7-Up, and sour cream. The dough will be sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a floured work surface. You may need to sprinkle a little more of the baking mix into the dough if it feels too sticky.
- Roll or pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut circles out of the dough using a round cutter or any small round object, like a bowl or a glass.
- Place the biscuits in the pan of melted butter.
- Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits sit and soak in all the melted butter.
How to Serve Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits
Serve these biscuits warm right out of the oven. They are great on their own or with a bit of honey, jam, or gravy. You can also pair them with fried chicken, soup, or a salad for a complete meal.
How to Store Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits
To store leftover biscuits, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to store them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to bring back their warmth.
Tips to Make Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits
- Ensure the butter is melted and evenly distributed in the baking dish for that delicious soaking effect.
- Don’t be afraid to use your hands when working with the dough; it helps shape it better.
- If you want even flakier biscuits, try folding the dough over a few times before cutting it into circles.
Variation
You can add shredded cheese or herbs to the dough for extra flavor. Cheddar cheese and chives work particularly well!
FAQs
Can I use other sodas instead of 7-Up?
Yes, you can use any lemon-lime soda or even a citrus-flavored sparkling water for a similar effect.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it before baking. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before you cut and bake it.
What if I don’t have Bisquick?
If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make your own by mixing 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
