How to Make Sprite Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of Biscuit Mix (like Bisquick)
• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 1 cup Sprite (or any lemon-lime soda)
• 1 stick Butter (melted (½ cup))
• 1 cup Blueberries (optional)
• 1 cup Glaze (optional (instructions in recipe))

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, sour cream, and Sprite. Be careful not to overmix the dough; it should be soft and slightly sticky.
3. Baking Dish Prep: Pour half of the melted butter into a 9X13 baking dish.
4. Drop the Biscuits In: Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out individual biscuits into the baking dish, allowing them to touch each other. Pour the remaining melted butter over the top of the biscuits.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve: Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with jam or gravy.
7. Blueberry Version: For Blueberry Sprite Biscuits, fold in fresh blueberries before baking. Glaze with a powdered sugar icing for an extra touch of sweetness.

How to Serve Sprite Biscuits

Serve Sprite Biscuits warm with a generous slather of butter, a dollop of jam, or a drizzle of honey. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are fluffy and warm.

How to Store Sprite Biscuits

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven for a few minutes until warm.

Tips to Make Sprite Biscuits

• Be gentle when mixing the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
