Pour the melted butter into an 8-inch baking dish, or into a 9-inch or 10-inch cast iron skillet.
Place the Bisquick in a large mixing bowl. Add the sour cream. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or two knives, cut the sour cream into the baking mix until little pea-size clumps form.
Pour in the soda and stir just until combined and there are no pockets of dry flour.
Turn the dough onto a well-floured work surface. Flour your hands and fold the dough over onto itself 6-8 times. Pat the dough into a rectangle that’s about 1-inch thick.
Use a floured round biscuit cutter to punch out the biscuits (do not twist the cutter). Arrange the biscuits in the pan with the melted butter. Re-roll the scraps and cut out additional biscuits.
Cover the biscuits with plastic wrap, and chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Bake the biscuits until golden brown on top, about 20-25 minutes. Brush the warm biscuits with 1-2 more tablespoons of melted butter.

7up biscuits from scratch: if you don't have any Bisquick, you can make these 7up biscuits with flour instead. To do so, prepare your own homemade "Bisquick" using a recipe like this one, which is combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and vegetable shortening.
Larger batch: if you're serving a bigger group, double all of the ingredients and bake the 7-up biscuits in a 9x13 dish.
7-up biscuits with ginger ale: for a slightly different flavor profile, swap out the lemon lime soda and use ginger ale instead.
Fold in some grated cheese for even more savory flavor.
Keep the ingredients as cold as possible to help the biscuits rise high.
This is a very soft dough, and can be quite sticky, so keep the counter well-floured, and add plenty of flour to your hands and to your biscuit cutter.
Use unsalted butter instead of the salted butter if you prefer a less-salty biscuit.
Don't overmix the dough. It's very soft, so use a gentle hand. Stir just until all of the ingredients come together and you don't see any dry pockets of flour. Over-mixing will result in tough, dense biscuits.
In lieu of 7UP, you can also use diet 7UP (or other sugar-free soda), Sprite, or another lemon-lime soda.
