Melt the Butter and Pour Into the Pan: Melt 1/4 cup butter and pour into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Alternatively, you can melt the butter in the pan by placing it in the oven for a few minutes.

Can They Be Made Without Bisquick?

If you don’t have Bisquick or you suddenly run out of Bisquick then I have you covered! Make your own homemade Bisquick so that you can still make delicious 7-up biscuits. Here is the list of ingredients you will need:

6 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of salt
1 cup of vegetable shortening, cubed

Simply combine these ingredients together to make your own Bisquick mixture right at home. This will make a total of 7 cups of homemade Bisquick, so there willl be plenty to use and store for other recipes.
