I was digging through my mom's special recipe box the other day and came across an interesting recipe for biscuits.
Who doesn't love biscuits? I grew up on them so I grabbed the recipe card to see what these were all about. The title was a little strange...
7 UP BISCUITS
What? Biscuits that have 7 Up in them? Now I've heard of using soda in baking but have never heard of 7 Up Biscuits, so I looked them up on the internet and they are e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e! This recipe has most likely been around for a long time. I know my mom's recipe card is probably from the 70's.
Now I'm a biscuit lover, so I was very skeptical about these biscuits, but intrigued at the same time. I decided we needed to have a good biscuit to go along with our Spicy Beef and Macaroni Tomato Soup. There's nothing better with soup that a hot piece of bread and these biscuits were going to get a trial run.
Boy, I have to tell you....these biscuits...these hot, tender, buttery biscuits are AMAZING! Plus they only have 4 ingredients! The sour cream makes them tender, but the 7 Up makes them slightly sweet and tangy. Only 4 ingredients, (I know, repeating myself...) make these quick to pull together and easy to make.
Take is from me, a biscuit aficionado, you NEED this recipe in your life!
Enjoy!
7 Up Biscuits (small batch)
2 c Bisquick
1/2 c Sour Cream
1/2 c 7 up soda
1/4 c melted butter
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place the butter in a 9x9 inch square baking pan and place it in the oven to melt while the oven is coming to temperature.
In a large bowl, add Bisquick mix and sour cream. Cut in sour cream using a pastry cutter. Add the 7 up and stir, until just combined, to form a soft dough.
On a wooden board sprinkled with a little Bisquick, place dough on the board. Pat dough out without kneading to about 1/2" thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, cut dough into 9 pieces and place in the buttered pan.
Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
