Golden and crispy on the outside.
Soft, fluffy, and buttery on the inside.
With a subtle sweetness and rich flavor, these biscuits are perfect for breakfast, dinner, or anytime snacking.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe keeps it simple, using just four pantry staples:

1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter: Rich, savory flavor.
4½ cups Bisquick or similar baking mix: A shortcut to perfect biscuits.
1 cup 7-Up or lemon-lime soda: The secret to fluffy dough.
1 cup sour cream: Adds moisture and a slight tang for balance.

Tools You’ll Need

9×13-inch baking dish
Mixing bowl
Rolling pin (or just your hands!)
Round biscuit cutter or glass

Ingredient Swaps and Additions

No 7-Up? Try Sprite, Sierra Mist, or even sparkling water with a pinch of sugar.
No Bisquick? Make your own by mixing flour, baking powder, salt, and a bit of butter or shortening.
Want a flavor twist? Add shredded cheddar or a pinch of garlic powder to the dough.

How to Make Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits

1: Melt the Butter

Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place the stick of butter in your baking dish and let it melt in the oven. Once melted, remove and set aside.

2: Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine Bisquick, sour cream, and 7-Up. The dough will be sticky—don’t worry, that’s what you want!

3: Roll and Cut

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds, dipping the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.

4: Arrange and Bake

Place the biscuits directly into the melted butter in the baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

5: Let Them Rest

Allow the biscuits to sit for a few minutes after baking to soak up the butter.

What to Serve with These Biscuits

Breakfast: Spread with jam, honey, or a dollop of butter.
Dinner: Pair with soups, stews, or a hearty chili.
Snacks: Enjoy on their own or with a drizzle of sweet glaze for dessert.

Pro Tips for Perfect Biscuits

Don’t overmix the dough: Less handling = fluffier biscuits.
Flour your cutter: Prevents sticking and ensures clean edges.
Let them touch: Placing biscuits close together helps them rise higher.

Storage and Reheating

To store: Keep biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
To freeze: Wrap cooled biscuits individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: Warm in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 350°F for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.

Fun Variations to Try

These Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits are perfect as-is, but why not have a little fun and put your own twist on them? Here are some ideas to customize your biscuits:

Cheesy Bliss

Add 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the dough.
Sprinkle Parmesan or garlic butter over the biscuits before baking for an extra-savory kick.

Herb Infusion

Mix in chopped fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or chives for a garden-fresh flavor.
A pinch of dried Italian seasoning works wonders too!

Sweet Treat

Stir in 1/4 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract for sweet biscuits.
After baking, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.

Spicy Kick

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the dough for a subtle heat.
Pair with honey for a spicy-sweet combo!
