Variations to Recipe

• Shortening can be used in replace of butter. But the butter offers a better texture in our opinion.
• Plain Greek yogurt can be used in a swap of sour cream.
• Add a touch of honey or sugar to the batter for a sweet flavor. 2 tablespoons of sugar or 2-3 tablespoons of honey will work great.
• Melt butter and add some minced garlic to create garlic butter biscuits.
• Dice up jalapenos finely and mix in the dough for a spicy biscuit. Place on the dinner table as a side dish.

Tips For Success

Don’t overmix the dough or it can make the biscuit dough heavy and dense.

Ensure you place the biscuits in a preheated oven that has been preheated for at least 5-10 minutes.

​Make sure the carbonated beverage has not become stale. Otherwise, it will not create that light and fluffy texture.

The biscuits are done when you stick a toothpick in the tops of the biscuits and it comes out clean of wet batter.

Storing

We recommend refrigerating the biscuits in an airtight container. They will store for 3-4 days in the fridge. We find the flavor of the biscuits tastes best when refrigerated. You can warm it up in the microwave or the oven.

Also, you could freeze biscuits. place your biscuits in a freezer container or freezer bag. The biscuits will freeze for 2-3 months.

Practical notes

​If you overmix the dough it will truly create a tough biscuit. Mix to combine but don’t overmix the batter.

Can we make 7UP biscuits ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake a day ahead of time and then store it in the fridge. Place biscuits in a sealed container. Then wrap in foil and place in a baking pan to heat up in the oven. Or warm up the biscuits in the microwave.
