- Pour in the soda and gently mix until just combined (no dry Bisquick should remain). Avoid overmixing.
Shape the Dough
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Flour your hands and fold the dough over itself 6-8 times. You are trying to make it not so sticky. However, be careful not to overwork it.
- Pat dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Use a floured biscuit cutter (don’t twist!) to cut out biscuits. place them on a plate or small baking sheet.
- Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut more biscuits as needed. Add more flour to your working surface if needed.
Chill the Dough
- Place the plate of biscuits in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the butter in a 9-inch round pan. Once the oven is hot, put the pan with the butter in for just a few minutes until the butter melts. Keep a close eye on it to prevent the butter from burning.
- Place the cut and chilled biscuits on top of melted butter in the pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven, and brush warm biscuits with 1-2 tablespoons of melted butter. Serve immediately.

- Diet soda: Use diet soda or sugar-free lemon-lime soda instead of 7 Up.
- Double batch: Make a double batch of biscuits for a larger crowd or freeze the baked biscuits for later.
- Square biscuits: If you prefer square biscuits, you can shape the dough into a rectangle and slice it into 8-9 square biscuits.
