By now you all are
probably more than well aware of my penchant for unusual ingredients. Case in point, my recently posted Grape
Jelly Glazed Meatloaf. So it was only natural
when I spotted this recipe, currently running rampant on the web, that I just had
to give them a try. I am a huge biscuit
fan, and always looking for something new.
I don’t keep soda on hand, as a rule, so had to buy a liter bottle of Seven
Up for just the half cup called for, but it was well worth it. These are sensational. They are hard to describe, really. The outside has a crispness uncommon to most biscuits
that I’ve tried, the inside is like a cloud.
These are the lightest, fluffiest, most delicious biscuits that I think I’ve
ever had. Word of warning, they are very
light, so if you like to pile your biscuits with lots of jelly or other
toppings, they may just crumble under the weight. A light spread of butter and perhaps a dollop
of your favorite jam is all you need.
These will take you to biscuit heaven!
Seven Up Biscuits
2 cups Bisquick baking
mix
½ cup sour cream
½ cup 7-Up or other
lemon lime soda
3 Tbsp. butter,
melted, divided
Preheat oven to
450°F.
In the work bowl of
a food processor combine the baking mix and sour cream just until blended. Add
the 7-Up and pulse until incorporated. The dough will be very tender. Sprinkle
some additional baking mix on your working surface and carefully shape the
dough into a 9-inch square. This isn’t easy;
it is a very light, rather sticky dough.
Using a very sharp knife, cut dough into 9 squares. Pour 2 of the Tbsp.
of melted butter into a 9-inch square baking dish. Be sure the butter coats the
bottom of the pan. Bake for 10-15
minutes until golden. Brush tops of biscuits with remaining melted butter.
