Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c bisquick mix
1 c sour cream
1 c club soda
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp each lemon and lime juice
or for the above, just substitute 1 cup 7-up soda
1/2 c butter, melted

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together the club soda, sugar, and lemon and lime juices until blended (or just measure 1 cup 7-Up).
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Bisquick, sour cream, and club soda mixture (or 7-Up). Dough will be very soft, that's OK. Turn out onto a flat surface which has been liberally sprinkled with about 1/3 cup more Bisquick.
3. Knead dough lightly just a few times until extra Bisquick is worked in. Work in more Bisquick if necessary, but don't let the dough get stiff or dry. I use a pastry cloth for this step, but whatever surface you normally use for biscuits should work fine. Pat out (don't roll) to about 1/2" thick.
4. Place the melted butter in the bottom of a 9x13" cake pan. Using a 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut biscuits and place them in the melted butter. Keep them close together, sides touching. It will be a tight fit. You will have to lightly re-knead your scraps after cutting until all the dough is used up.
5. Bake the biscuits about 14-17 minutes, until nicely browned. Watch them carefully so the tops don't get too brown. When done, use a fork to separate the biscuits from each other. *Note* I made only a half-recipe the first time, and it worked great, too. I got 1 dozen 2 1/2-inch biscuits.
