Biscuits with Honey Butter

A couple of days ago I ate some Popeye's biscuits. This was not my first time having these biscuits but for some reason these particular biscuits were the best I ever had. They were perfectly buttered and soft. So like how I start every idea for a recipe I headed over to Pinterest. To my delight I found a copycat Popeye's biscuit recipe. The recipe is also known as "7-up" biscuits. The recipe has only 4 ingredients!! I have never made biscuits before and was very interested to try it out because of the short ingredient list.

Biscuits 
makes 9 large biscuits or 15 small biscuits
2 1/2 cups Bisquick (Biscuit Mix)
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup 7-up
1/4 cup melted butter

Honey Butter
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tbs honey


 I have made these biscuits about 5 times and this is a very soft dough. The first couple of times I made it I used a fork to cut in the sour cream, rolled out the dough on a floured surface, and cut the dough. I got a little frustrated using this method because the dough was very soft and sticking to everything. I found myself adding more bisquick mix to help with the sticking and over kneading the dough. So my advice to you, use a stand mixer with a dough hook and use a cookie/ice cream scoop to portion the biscuits. This made the process super easy. I also changed the ratio of the ingredients. Adding the honey butter is a delicious option.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9x13inch square pan.

Cut sour cream into biscuit mix

add 7-Up. 

Using a cookie/ice cream scoop, portion out the biscuits and place them in the pan with the melted butter. After biscuits are place in pan, flip them so both sides are covered in butter.

bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Mix melted butter and honey together

 

Pour or brush the honey butter over the hot biscuits!!

This biscuits are so soft and fluffy. The honey butter takes it to ANOTHER LEVEL!!

Store in fridge in an air tight container or ziploc bag.
