Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups bisquick mix (or other biscuit baking mix)
- 1 cup mountain dew
- ½ cup sour cream
Supplementary Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the kitchen oven to a searing 450 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a rectangular baking vessel by coating with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
- In a spacious mixing container, blend Bisquick mix with smooth sour cream and fizzy Mountain Dew, stirring until a cohesive, slightly shaggy dough forms.
- Dust a clean countertop with a light layer of flour and gently transfer the sticky dough onto the surface.
- Using gentle pressure, flatten the dough to approximately one-inch thickness, ensuring an even surface.
- Select a circular biscuit cutter or the rim of a clean drinking glass to carve out precise dough rounds.
- Carefully arrange the cut biscuits closely together in the prepared baking dish, allowing them to slightly touch for optimal rising.
- Generously coat the biscuit surfaces with half of the melted butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown coloration across the tops.
- Once baked, extract the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush with remaining melted butter for a glossy, rich finish.
- Serve the biscuits piping hot, offering a delightful blend of tangy and buttery flavors.
Notes
- Carbonation Magic: The Mountain Dew’s bubbles create incredibly light, fluffy biscuits with an unexpected tender crumb that surprises everyone.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Swap Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix to make these biscuits accessible for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Flavor Experiment: Try different soda variations like Sprite or ginger ale for unique taste profiles that’ll intrigue adventurous bakers.
- Butter Boost: Using room temperature butter ensures more even coating and helps develop a richer, more golden-brown exterior on the biscuits.
