7 Up Biscuits
Description
This biscuit recipe mixes baking mix with 7 Up soda and sour cream, combining moisture and leavening for a soft dough. Additional baking mix is kneaded in by hand to achieve a soft dough just holding together. The dough is rolled to about half an inch thick, then cut into biscuits placed in a buttered pan before baking.
Baking at a high temperature creates a golden crust while keeping the interior tender and moist. The use of carbonated soda provides lift and lightness without yeast or buttermilk.
The biscuits can serve as a quick bread side for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The butter in the pan adds richness and helps produce a crisp, buttery bottom crust.
The recipe notes suggest adjusting the baking mix quantity carefully to achieve proper dough consistency, experimenting with different lemon-lime sodas like Sprite or diet versions, and recommend not omitting the butter in the baking dish.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2-3 cups baking mix such as Bisquick, divided
- 1/2 cup 7 Up soda
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together 2 cups of baking mix, soda, and sour cream until just combined.
- Sprinkle the counter top with 1/4 cup of baking mix and dump the dough out onto it. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup baking mix on top of the dough as needed, using your hands to mix into the dough and pat the dough out to about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Add additional Bisquick as needed to form a very soft dough that is just holding together.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8x8 baking dish. Cut the biscuits out and place them in the pan of butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Add baking mix gradually to reach a dough that just holds together; dough softness is key.
- Both 7 Up and Sprite sodas work similarly; diet sodas are also suitable substitutes.
- Using melted butter in the baking dish enhances flavor and crust; reducing it may be possible but not recommended for best results.
