Most people know 7Up as the lemon-lime soda you use as a mixer for cocktails, or as the soft drink you go for when you're not feeling like drinking cola. But as our grandparents have known for years, it can also be used in baking. The carbonation in 7UP helps baked goods rise and gives them an airy, fluffy texture, making it a great substitute for baking soda, but with a hint of sweetness. This recipe for biscuits makes the most of the Un-cola's unique qualities, so you have no excuse for not whipping up a quick batch of them the next time you want something light and tasty with your meal.
Ingredients:
256 g Bisquick® brand pancake and baking mix
60 g melted butter
125 mL 7Up®
125 mL sour cream
- Preheat your oven to 450°F / 232°C. Melt the butter however way you want, and pour it into a casserole dish. Set the casserole dish aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the sour cream and the Bisquick mix together, then slowly add the 7Up and stir until you get a cohesive and sticky dough.
- Thoroughly coat a surface with some of the remaining Bisquick, then pour out the dough onto it, and knead it until it's not so sticky. Flatten it out the dough to about a 2.5 centimeters thickness, then cut out some biscuits using a biscuit cutter (an empty soup can or a glass also can be used).
- Place the raw biscuits in the casserole dish with the melted butter, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are nice and browned on top.
NOTE: You are about to eat something that was baked in a pool of butter - plan accordingly.
