Key Ingredients:
Every ingredient here brings it’s A-game to make these biscuits so delicious. Here’s a summary of what they offer:
Bisquick Baking Mix: This mix includes the flour, baking powder, salt and fat needed to replicate that classic biscuit texture, so you don’t need additional ingredients.
Sour Cream: Sour cream contributes moisture, tanginess and a tender crumb, offsetting the sweetness of the 7-Up.
7-Up: The carbonation of 7-Up works to aerate the dough, resulting in soft, fluffy biscuits. Or you can use Sprite or another lemon-lime soda instead.
Butter: Adding melted butter in the pan affords richness and helps the biscuits get golden-brown and crispy on the bottom.

Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine Bisquick baking mix and sour cream. Mix until well combined.
Gradually pour in the 7-Up and stir until a soft dough is formed.
Step 2: Knead and Shape
Dust a surface with additional Bisquick mix.
This also helps with even distribution, so the dough is well-coated in the baking mix.
Form it into a slab 1-inch thick.
Step 3: Cut the Biscuits
Using a round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut rounds from the dough.
Step 4: Prepare the Pan
Melt butter, and pour it into the bottom of a cookie sheet or 9×13-inch casserole dish.
Step 5: Bake
Set the biscuits evenly over the melted butter in the pan.
Therefore arrange onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the 425 °F (220 °C) oven, or until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
Serve the biscuits warm with a pat of butter or spread of your choice. Enjoy!
