These incredibly easy 4-ingredient biscuits use a few simple ingredients to create the fluffiest, most tender biscuits you’ll ever have. The melted butter in the pan creates an unbelievably crisp and golden bottom crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose baking mix (like Bisquick)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup 7 Up or other lemon-lime soda (must be fizzy)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Pour the ½ cup of melted butter into an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch baking pan, making sure it coats the entire bottom. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the baking mix and sour cream. Stir with a fork until the mixture is crumbly.
  3. Slowly pour in the 7 Up. The mixture will fizz. Gently stir with the fork until a very soft, sticky dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix; stir only until the ingredients are just combined.
  4. Turn the sticky dough out onto a surface lightly dusted with a bit more baking mix (or flour). Gently knead just a few times (2-3 turns is plenty) to bring it together. Pat the dough out with your hands until it’s about ½-inch thick.
  5. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out 9 biscuits. You can gently press the scraps together to get the last one or two.
  6. Place the cut biscuits directly into the pan with the melted butter, arranging them side-by-side. The butter will come up the sides of the biscuits.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown. The bottoms will be a deeper, crispier brown.
  8. For best results, serve the biscuits warm, straight from the oven.

Notes

  • The dough will be sticky; do not add more flour.
  • Do not over-mix the dough.
  • Use fizzy soda for best lift.
  • Ensure the butter fully melts and coats the pan bottom.
  • Full-fat plain Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.
  • If you don’t have baking mix, you can make a homemade version using flour, baking powder, salt, and butter/shortening.
  • These biscuits are best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 days and reheated.
