FAQs
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
A: You can, but add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt per cup of regular flour.
Q: Can I use a different soda instead of 7-Up?
A: Yes. A lemon-lime soda works best. Avoid dark sodas with strong flavors.
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: You can mix the dough and refrigerate for a few hours. Let it sit 20 minutes at room temp before cutting.
Q: How do I get taller biscuits?
A: Handle the dough gently and cut with a sharp cutter without twisting. Thicker cuts bake taller.
Q: Can I freeze unbaked biscuits?
A: Yes. Place cut biscuits on a tray, freeze, then store in a bag. Bake from frozen, add a few extra minutes.
