FAQs

What is Mountain Dew, and why is it used in this recipe?

Mountain Dew is a carbonated soft drink that adds sweetness and helps make the biscuits light and fluffy due to its carbonation.

Can I use a different soda instead of Mountain Dew?

Yes, you can substitute with other lemon-lime sodas like Sprite or 7-Up for a similar effect.

Do I have to use Bisquick, or can I make my own mix?

While Bisquick is convenient, you can use a homemade baking mix made of flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening.

Can I make these biscuits gluten-free?

You can use a gluten-free baking mix as a substitute for Bisquick to make gluten-free Mountain Dew Biscuits.

Can I use low-fat sour cream?

Can I freeze the biscuits?

Yes, you can freeze the baked biscuits. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Do I need to let the dough rest before baking?

No resting time is required for this recipe. The biscuits can be baked immediately after preparing the dough.

How do I prevent my biscuits from sticking to the cutter?

Dip the biscuit cutter in flour or Bisquick before cutting to prevent sticking.

Can I use butter instead of sour cream?

Sour cream is key to the texture and flavor of this recipe, so it’s not recommended to substitute it with butter.
