7-Up Biscuits - Sprinkled with Flour

By MarieR

I wasn’t sure what would make these biscuits so different than all the other recipes I’ve tried, but I just had a gut feeling that this was “the one”. I was right! These biscuits are slap-you-silly good. They’re fluffy and tender, and just have a plain awesome texture in all the right places. They don’t even need butter.

Well, that’s not completely true…every biscuit needs a little butter…and honey. I adapted the original recipe a bit so they are completely from scratch. (I can’t bring myself to buy Bisquick when it’s so easy to make yourself, and cheaper too!)

Ingredients

• Yield: 9 biscuit
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup 7-up (room temperature, and the real stuff! Not Diet)
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, then cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Cut the sour cream into biscuit mix, then add the 7-Up. This makes a very soft dough.

Sprinkle additional biscuit mix on board or table and pat dough out. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9 inch square pan. Place cut biscuits in pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

7up in a biscuit is totally new for me but they sure look nice and fluffy :)

They turned out amazing! But I added way more flour than called for it was really sticky!
