7-Up Biscuits Recipe

Bisquick mix: A pre-mixed baking blend that simplifies the process of making biscuits by combining flour, shortening, and leavening agents.

Sour cream: Adds moisture and a slight tanginess to the biscuits, resulting in a tender crumb.

7-Up soda: The carbonation in the soda helps the biscuits rise and gives them a light, airy texture.

Butter: Melted and used to coat the baking dish, adding richness and helping to create a golden-brown crust on the biscuits.

When cutting the sour cream into the bisquick mix, use a pastry cutter or two knives in a crisscross motion to ensure the sour cream is evenly distributed. This will help create a more uniform dough, resulting in biscuits that rise evenly and have a consistent texture.

• bisquick mix - Substitute with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt: Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt to create a homemade baking mix similar to Bisquick.

• sour cream - Substitute with plain Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt has a similar texture and tangy flavor, making it a great alternative to sour cream.

• 7-up soda - Substitute with club soda: Club soda provides the same leavening effect and moisture without adding extra sweetness.

• melted butter - Substitute with melted margarine: Margarine can be used in place of butter to provide the same fat content and moisture.

• Allow the biscuits to cool completely after baking. This prevents condensation and sogginess when storing.
• Wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to maintain freshness and prevent them from sticking together.
• Place the wrapped biscuits in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. This helps to keep out moisture and air, extending their shelf life.
• Store the container or bag in the refrigerator if you plan to consume the biscuits within a week. This keeps them fresh and ready to reheat.
• For longer storage, place the wrapped biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze them for about 1-2 hours. This flash-freezing step prevents them from sticking together.
• Once frozen, transfer the biscuits to a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container. Label the bag with the date to keep track of their storage time.
• When ready to enjoy, reheat the biscuits by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.
• Alternatively, you can microwave the biscuits for a quick reheat. Wrap a biscuit in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until they are warmed through.

• For a quick reheat, use the microwave. Place the biscuits on a microwave-safe plate. Cover them with a damp paper towel to keep them moist. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Check and add more time if necessary, but be careful not to overheat as they can become tough.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 320°F (160°C). Place the biscuits in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other. Heat for about 3-5 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure they are warming evenly.

• For a stovetop method, use a skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to the skillet. Place the biscuits in the skillet and cover with a lid. Heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.

• Oven: Preheat to 450°F (230°C) to bake the biscuits until golden brown.

• Mixing bowl: Use to combine the bisquick mix and sour cream, and to stir in the 7-Up soda.

• Pastry cutter: Essential for cutting the sour cream into the bisquick mix to create a uniform dough.

• Flat surface: Needed to sprinkle with bisquick mix and pat out the dough for cutting.

• Biscuit cutter: Use to cut the dough into biscuit shapes.

• Baking dish: Pour melted butter into this dish and place the biscuits on top for baking.

• Measuring cups: Required to measure out the bisquick mix, sour cream, and 7-Up soda accurately.

• Microwave or stovetop: Use to melt the butter before pouring it into the baking dish.

• Spatula: Handy for transferring the cut biscuits onto the baking dish.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out the bisquick mix, sour cream, 7-up soda, and butter before starting to save time during preparation.

Use a food processor: Quickly combine the sour cream and bisquick mix by pulsing them in a food processor instead of using a pastry cutter.

Preheat the oven early: Start preheating your oven as soon as you begin gathering your ingredients to ensure it reaches the correct temperature by the time your biscuits are ready to bake.

Use parchment paper: Roll out the dough on parchment paper to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
