how to store 7-Up Biscuits
Cool biscuits fully before storing. Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–8 minutes or until warm.
tips to make 7-Up Biscuits
- Keep the butter cold. Cold butter gives flaky layers.
- Do not overmix the dough. Mix until it just holds together.
- Handle the dough gently and pat it down instead of heavy kneading.
- Use a sharp cutter and press straight down; do not twist.
- Bake on a hot sheet for a better bottom crust.
variation (if any)
- Cheddar 7-Up biscuits: add 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded cheddar to the dry mix.
- Herb biscuits: mix in 1–2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
- Sweet biscuits: add a teaspoon of vanilla and top with a light honey glaze.
FAQs
Q: Can I use another soda instead of 7-Up?
A: Yes. Sprite or another lemon-lime soda works. Avoid dark sodas; they change the flavor and color.
Q: Can I make these without sour cream?
A: Yes. You can use plain yogurt or an extra tablespoon of butter, but texture may change slightly.
Q: How do I make them flakier?
A: Keep butter very cold and cut it into small pieces. Do not overwork the dough.
Q: Can I brush with butter after baking?
A: Yes. Brushing warm biscuits with melted butter adds shine and flavor.
