Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine flour and sour cream in a large mixing bowl.
3. Gently mix in the Sprite to form a soft dough.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly flour-dusted surface.
5. Roll or pat the dough to flatten it out to about 1/2-inch in thickness, then use a biscuit cutter for perfect shapes. (Dip the biscuit cutter into flour before cutting each biscuit to keep it from sticking).
6. Add the cold butter to a baking dish and melt it in the oven.
7. Drop the biscuits into the melted butter in the baking dish and bake until they turn golden brown.
