Hey there, it’s Natasha, and I’m back with another kitchen adventure that I just have to share with you. This time, it’s all about biscuits—specifically, the most buttery, flaky, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits you’ll ever taste. I’m talking about Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits, and trust me, they live up to the name.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make biscuits that are soft, fluffy, and dripping with buttery goodness, you’re in the right place. This recipe is so simple, even if you’re not a baking pro, you’ll feel like one after making these. Plus, it uses a secret ingredient that might surprise you: 7-Up! Yep, you read that right. Let’s dive in!
Why These Biscuits Are a Game-Changer
I’ll be honest—I’ve tried a lot of biscuit recipes over the years. Some were good, some were meh, but none of them had that wow factor. That is, until I stumbled upon this recipe. What makes these biscuits so special?
- The Butter: We’re not just brushing butter on top—these biscuits are baked in a pool of melted butter. It’s like a buttery bath that soaks into every nook and cranny.
- The Secret Ingredient: The 7-Up (or any lemon-lime soda) adds a touch of sweetness and helps create the most tender, fluffy texture.
- The Sour Cream: It adds richness and moisture, making these biscuits impossibly soft.
The result? Biscuits that are golden on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and absolutely irresistible.
What You’ll Need to Make These Biscuits
Here’s the ingredient list—short, sweet, and probably already in your kitchen:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter: For that rich, buttery flavor.
- 4½ cups Bisquick or similar baking mix: The shortcut that makes this recipe so easy.
- 1 cup 7-Up or a similar lemon-lime soda: The secret to fluffy biscuits!
- 1 cup sour cream: Full-fat works best for the richest texture.
How to Make Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits (Step-by-Step)
Ready to bake? Here’s how I made these heavenly biscuits:
Preheat the Oven and Melt the Butter
I started by preheating my oven to 425℉. Then, I placed the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and popped it in the oven to melt. Once melted, I took it out and set it aside.
Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, I combined the Bisquick, 7-Up, and sour cream. The dough was sticky, but that’s exactly what you want for fluffy biscuits.
Shape the Dough
I turned the dough out onto a floured surface and added a little more Bisquick if it felt too sticky. Then, I gently rolled or patted the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Pro tip: Don’t overwork the dough! The less you handle it, the fluffier your biscuits will be.
Cut the Biscuits
Using a round cutter (or a glass if you don’t have one), I cut out circles of dough and placed them right into the dish with the melted butter.
Bake to Perfection
I baked the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until they were golden brown on top.
Let Them Soak Up the Butter
Once out of the oven, I let the biscuits rest for a few minutes to soak up all that melted butter. Then, it was time to dig in!
How I’ve Been Serving These Biscuits
These biscuits are so versatile, I’ve been serving them with everything:
Breakfast: Slathered with jam or honey, or paired with scrambled eggs and bacon.
Dinner: As a side for soups, stews, or fried chicken.
Snacks: Just on their own, because they’re that good.
FAQs About This Recipe
Can I use a different soda if I don’t have 7-Up?
Yes! Any lemon-lime soda will work, or you can even try using Sprite or Sierra Mist.
What if I don’t have Bisquick?
No problem! You can make your own baking mix by combining 4½ cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of shortening or butter.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Absolutely! Once baked and cooled, store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
Why is the sour cream important?
Sour cream adds moisture and richness, making the biscuits extra tender. Avoid using light sour cream for the best results.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough, cut out the biscuits, and refrigerate them overnight. Just bake them fresh when you’re ready to serve.
