Calvin’s dad always sang, “The biscuits at the Payne house, they say are mighty fine. One rolled off the table and killed a pal of mine” every. single. time. we had biscuits. It was as expected as butter and honey.
Calvin sings, “The biscuits at the Payne house, they say are might fine. One rolled off the table and killed a pal of mine” every. single. time. we have biscuits. It is as expected as butter and jam.
Abe sings, “The biscuits at the Payne house, they say are might fine. One rolled off the table and killed a pal of mine” every. single. time. we have biscuits. It is as expected as sausage gravy.
It’s not real healthy for the cook’s ego, but it rang a note or two of truth with my biscuits. They were . . . shall we say . . . filling.
But no more. I found a new recipe that is all over the internet. There is no way these biscuits are good for you, but my, oh my, are these biscuits good.
The New and Improved Biscuits at the Payne House
2 cups of Bisquick baking mix
½ cup sour cream
½ cup 7-up
¼ cup butter
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt butter on cookie sheet and set aside. Mix baking mix, sour cream, and 7-up together. Knead lightly. Roll dough out on floured board to ¾ inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter and dip top of biscuit in melted butter, then rest the bottom of the biscuit in the pool of butter. Bake at 450 degrees until browned (12-15 minutes). Makes 8 - 10 biscuits.
I know they’re expensive. I know they’re fattening. I know they are really, really good.

I can attest. What are you doing still awake at 10:30pm. You have seminary in the morning. Go to bed!

Yuuuummmm! They sound good. I will need to try them out!
I have never seen that recipe!
I do not appreciate words/songs or anything that denigrates the cook. Don't they know that old saying about biting the hand that feeds them??
I've never seen 7-up in a biscuit recipe before. Huh. I do, however, have a recipe that calls for the biscuits to bake in a pan of butter like this, and oh, wowie are they something.
I'll have to give this a shot!
I have not seen that recipe either, but I will try it next week. I need to get sprite for something else, do you think I could sub that instead of the 7-up?
I like what Michelle said ... made me chuckle!
Good heavens, sour cream AND butter!! I will have to try these. I love biscuits and these sound dangerously good. The 7-up is a surprise too, I would need to plan ahead to have that on hand.
Nice to hear the Payne tradition of singing that song is continuing...I would LOVE to hear dad sing it again! Can't wait to try these.
Love to you all---miss you all!
