7-Up Biscuits

image

Here is the absolute best biscuit recipe I have ever made. And ironically it is also the easiest biscuit recipe I have made. Don't let the ingredients scare you away. These biscuits are equivalent to KFC or Popeyes (depending on which chicken place you buy from, if you are in the south, you probably choose Popeyes :o). They really turn out pretty too, just like the picture. I would have used my own picture but they got snarfed before I had the chance. I don't think I'll go back to Pillsbury tube biscuits. These aren't "healthy" but the ingredients are more natural than that of tube biscuits.

2 c. bisquick
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. 7-up
1/4 c. butter

Cut the sour cream in to the bisquick mix with a fork (like shortening in pie crust if you've ever made your own crust). Add the 7-up. This should form a really soft dough. NOTE: It still should be doughy though. It will stick to your hands a bit but if it is too wet it will totally stick to your hands big time. I ended up using more mix than the recipe called for to get the right consistency. Use a little flour or extra bisquick on a board or counter top to help pat your dough into about a 1/2 to 1 inch thick large circle. Cut biscuits in circles using the edge of a glass or a biscuit cutter. Melt butter in a 9x9 (square) baking dish. Put dough circles in dish on top of melted butter. The biscuits will be nice and cozy in the pan sort of squeezed next to each other. Bake at 450 degrees until golden brown. Do not bake these biscuits spread far apart in a large dish.
