Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits
Introduction
These ultra-soft, rich biscuits are famous for their buttery flavor and fluffy texture. The secret ingredient, lemon-lime soda, creates a light and tender crumb with almost no effort. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a comforting side.
Ingredients
1/2 cup salted butter
4 1/2 cups baking mix such as Bisquick
1 cup lemon-lime soda such as 7-Up
1 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F)
Place the butter in a baking dish and put it in the oven until fully melted, then remove
In a large bowl, combine the baking mix and sour cream
Mix gently until the texture becomes crumbly
Slowly add the lemon-lime soda and stir just until a soft dough forms
Do not overmix
Lightly flour a surface and turn the dough out
Gently knead a few times, then shape into a rectangle about 2 to 3 cm thick
Cut into biscuit squares or rounds
Place the biscuits directly into the baking dish with the melted butter
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top
Method
The soda reacts with the baking mix to create a light rise, while the sour cream adds moisture and richness. Baking the biscuits in melted butter gives them a crispy, golden bottom and deep flavor.
