Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature is key for achieving that golden, crispy exterior. Get out your 9x13-inch baking dish, and drop in your butter. Yes, that’s right! You want it to melt while the oven preheats.

Once the oven is hot, keep that dish with butter inside until it melts beautifully. This process not only flavors the biscuits but also gives them an irresistible buttery crust.

In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, lemon-lime soda, sour cream, garlic powder, and shredded cheese. Stir gently until the dough starts to come together. It should be sticky but hold its shape—this is your cue to stop mixing!

Lightly flour a clean surface to prevent sticking, then turn the sticky dough out. Using your hands, gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Remember, the less you handle the dough, the lighter your biscuits will be!

Grab a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut circles from your dough. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can always cut them into squares for a rustic look! Place the cut biscuits into the pan with the melted butter, ensuring they’re snug but not squished together.

Slide that baking dish into the oven and let the magic happen! Bake until they turn a gorgeous golden brown—about 10 to 12 minutes. Your kitchen will smell heavenly by this point!

Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. This allows the biscuits to absorb all that buttery goodness, which is going to make them utterly divine.
