Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This step ensures that your biscuits will bake quickly and rise beautifully.
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until fully incorporated.
- Step 3: Cut in Shortening. Add the shortening to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients. Gently fold in the sour cream and 7-UP soda. Mix until the dough just comes together; be careful not to overmix.
- Step 5: Shape the Dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. If you prefer, roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits with a round cutter or a glass.
- Step 6: Bake the Biscuits. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each biscuit. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Step 7: Serve and Enjoy! Once baked, take the biscuits out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerate for up to a week if you need to keep them longer.
- Freeze unbaked biscuits for easy baking later; add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
