Ah, I see you’re after the Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits, but in scone form! These buttery, fluffy, and slightly tangy biscuits are perfect when transformed into scones. Let’s make them into an easy-to-follow Billion Dollar Buttery Scones recipe:
Billion Dollar Buttery Scones
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, cold and cubed
- 4 ½ cups Bisquick or similar baking mix
- 1 cup 7-Up (or lemon-lime soda)
- 1 cup sour cream (avoid using light sour cream)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, add the Bisquick baking mix.
- Cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (a little larger than pea-sized pieces of butter).
-
Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Stir in the sour cream and 7-Up. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as it will affect the fluffiness of your scones.
-
Shape the Dough:
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. You can either cut it into wedges like a traditional scone or shape it into small rounds using a biscuit cutter.
-
Bake the Scones:
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them out slightly (they will rise).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through. You can check by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out clean, they’re ready.
-
Serve:
- Let the scones cool slightly before serving. For extra decadence, you can drizzle them with a bit of honey or serve with jam, butter, or clotted cream.
These Billion Dollar Buttery Scones will have a rich, buttery flavor, a tender crumb, and a slight tang from the sour cream, just like the famous biscuits but in a perfect scone form. Enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or as a delicious treat! 🧁✨
