FAQs

Can I use diet soda instead of regular Sprite?

Yes, though regular Sprite gives the best flavor and rise.

Do I have to use Sprite?

No, any lemon-lime soda or even club soda works.

Can I make these without sour cream?

Yes, substitute with plain Greek yogurt.

Can I use homemade biscuit mix instead of Bisquick?

Yes, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening works.

Do I need a biscuit cutter?

No, you can cut squares with a knife or use a glass/jar top.

Can I use unsalted butter?

Yes, just add a pinch of salt to the dough.

Why are my biscuits dense?

Be careful not to over-knead the dough—it should be soft and just combined.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, use a larger baking dish or two pans.

Can I make drop biscuits with this dough?

Yes, scoop dough directly into the buttered pan instead of rolling and cutting.

Can I add flavor mix-ins?

Absolutely—try bacon bits, scallions, jalapeños, or cinnamon sugar.
