7-Up Biscuits Recipe

Bisquick mix: A pre-mixed baking blend that includes flour, shortening, salt, and baking powder, making it a convenient base for biscuits.

Sour cream: Adds moisture and a slight tanginess to the biscuits, contributing to their tender texture.

7-Up: A lemon-lime soda that provides a subtle sweetness and helps the biscuits rise, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.

Butter: Melted and used to coat the baking pan, giving the biscuits a rich, buttery crust.

When mixing the bisquick mix, sour cream, and 7-up, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits. Instead, mix until the ingredients are just combined to ensure a light and fluffy texture.

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

• 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 - Substitute with club soda: Club soda provides the same carbonation and lightness to the dough as 7-up, without adding sweetness.

• melted butter - Substitute with melted margarine: Margarine can be used in place of melted butter to achieve a similar texture and flavor in the biscuits.

• Allow the biscuits to cool completely before storing or freezing. This prevents condensation, which can make them soggy.

• For short-term storage, place the biscuits in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days.

• If you plan to keep them longer, store the biscuits in the refrigerator. Use an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They will stay fresh for up to a week.

• To freeze the biscuits, first, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap. This helps to prevent freezer burn and keeps them from sticking together.

• Place the wrapped biscuits in a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container. Label with the date to keep track of their freshness.

• The biscuits can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw them at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

• For a quick reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.

• Alternatively, you can microwave the biscuits on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on medium power for 20-30 seconds, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.

• To maintain their buttery flavor, brush the reheated biscuits with a little melted butter before serving.

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

• For a quick reheat, use the microwave. Wrap each biscuit in a damp paper towel to keep them moist. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Check and add more time if needed, but be cautious not to overheat as they can become rubbery.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 320°F (160°C). Place the biscuits in the basket in a single layer. Heat for 3-5 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure they are warming evenly.

• For a stovetop method, use a non-stick skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Place the biscuits in the skillet and cover with a lid. Heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until warmed through. This method helps maintain a slightly crispy exterior.

• If you prefer a softer texture, use a steamer. Place the biscuits in a steamer basket over simmering water. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes or until they are heated through. This method keeps them moist and fluffy.

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

• Mixing bowl: Combine bisquick mix, sour cream, and 7-up until just combined.

• Flat surface: Sprinkle with bisquick mix to pat out the dough and cut into biscuits.

• Biscuit cutter: Cut the dough into biscuit shapes.

• Baking pan: Pour melted butter into it and place the biscuits on top.

• Measuring cups: Measure out the bisquick mix, sour cream, and 7-up accurately.

• Microwave or stovetop: Melt the butter before pouring it into the baking pan.

• Spatula: Transfer the biscuits onto the baking pan.

• Oven mitts: Safely handle the hot baking pan when placing it in and taking it out of the oven.

Prepare ingredients ahead: Measure out the bisquick mix, sour cream, and 7-up in advance to streamline the process.

Use a food processor: Quickly combine the bisquick mix and sour cream using a food processor for a smoother dough.

Preheat the oven early: Start preheating your oven while you mix the ingredients to save time.

Cut biscuits efficiently: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut the dough quickly and uniformly.

Melt butter in the oven: Place the butter in the baking pan and let it melt in the preheating oven to save a step.
