There's something undeniably comforting about a warm, flaky biscuit, particularly when it’s a Southern staple like 7 Up biscuits. This unique recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic biscuit, using 7 Up soda to create an effortlessly fluffy texture and a subtly sweet flavor.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup 7 Up soda
1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving those wonderfully light and airy biscuits that rise perfectly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray for easy cleanup after baking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the 7 Up and sour cream. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until just combined.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Pat it down gently into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen beautifully.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy.
