I really should make this recipe without substitutions before I rate it but I’m going to anyway. I didn’t have sour cream so I used real mayo in its place. These biscuits came out fluffy with a melt in your mouth crunchy bottom. Light and airy with put having to shape. I used a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough for baking and got exactly 12 biscuits. Next time I will try a batch with sour cream and a batch with mayo to compare. Thank you!!

Tastes so good. Made both thicker and thinner biscuits. I do prefer when thinner. However, excellent either way.

I have made these several times & love them. My family loves them too! They are so easy to make & I also make sausage gravy for them. I make them exactly like the recipe.

Nom yum yum! Add strawberry jam…and oh my! Followed the recipe as printed and they turned out great. Well, I may have added about 1/4 cup extra baking mix to lightly knead the dough.

These are great! I make them for our church Wed night dinners. Everyone loves them. I don’t roll out the dough. I just melt the butter in the pan then spread the dough over the butter and smooth it out (as best as you can), then bake. When they are done, I just cut into the size I need. I usually make them for Biscuits and Gravy, so the shape doesn’t matter.

These were pretty good for a very easy and quick biscuit. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

My grandson made these biscuits, not realizing that we were only to use 1/2 cup soda instead of 1 cup. What a sloppy mess. We read many reviews and this happened to others. One person had added more flour. We did the same. I know that all people make mistakes, but in this case you had to read the reviews to see that a mistake was made by brighteyes. Granted she told about the mistake but could have told us how to correct the problem. Ingredients are expensive and time is valuable so she should have corrected the mistake before so many other people made these biscuits.

saw after making the info that there was a typo and should have been 1/2 cup soda and the butter didn’t go in the mix. Mine look more like pancakes than biscuits and I was making or a work pot luck at a new job! Not taking those!

Really upset that the OP doesn’t just delete this. How many others have to find out recipe is screwed up TWICE after they’ve already made it?? Way Too much 7up • and • butter does NOT go in the recipe, it goes in pan under biscuit dough
James Hernandez
Look, the original submitted admitted the recipe has a error that results in a far to wet mix that runs. the end result is more akin to pancakes rather than biscuits. However, with the correction of only 1/2 cup 7-up these biscuits come out great and are easy to make.

Easy and yummy. Goes great with butter or jelly.

Only four ingredients? No kneading?, no rolling pins involved? Oh yes! I have found my “go-to” biscuit recipe! I use a cast iron biscuit pan and I’ve found that I have to up the cook time to just around 20 minutes (with a watchful eye after 15 minutes), and they turn out perfectly. The bottoms are not overdone, they’re not dry, they’re tasty and the family loves ’em. This one is a keeper!

This recipe makes the best biscuits. I roll out the dough, cut 9 circles and use a square pan instead of a rectangular. They rise beautifully and they are light and fluffy.

I really enjoyed these although I still like my grandmas version that I make better. Still a good taste though!

I’ve been making these biscuits for years and this recipe fits that bill. These are so so easy to make that the kids want to get in on it too! The dough can be sticky to work with, but this doesn’t have to be a problem. Pour the whole thing into a casserole dish (atop the butter of course) and level it. Bake it like a cake and cut your biscuits into squares. Tastes the same without the added rolling and cutting, and no mess!! Once the gravy is on it no one will care about biscuit shapes and it just saves so much time. Love this!

Delicious, delicious. Must triple recipe next time

SENSATIONAL RECIPE!

I’ve made this three times now, the second time forgetting that the original recipe as published is wrong, and the amount of soda needs to be halved. I wish this could somehow be fixed, because if you get the proportions right, the biscuits come out flaky and buttery, perfect to go with sausage gravy. I do as others have suggested, melting the butter in the baking dish, then I pat the dough down so the butter is on the top and the bottom. Yummy, but please, can someone fix the published recipe? When I forgot and added one cup of soda, I had to just eyeball it and add more biscuit mix until the dough seemed right. They came out okay, but heavy compared to how they’re supposed to. UPDATE:5/14/16: I made these this morning using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to bump up the protein, and reducing the butter to three T. to save fat and calories. We noticed no difference in the flavor, and actually prefer the less buttery version. They were still plenty buttery, and when serving with sausage gravy, they were perfect. I’ll be making them this way from now on for the improved nutritional values.

LOVED this recipe so much I shared it and taught it to my basic Culinary Class students.
