Ingredients

  • 3 cups 360g) all-purpose flour (if using self-rising flour or a baking mix, see notes)
  • tablespoons (21g) baking powder
  • teaspoons (6-7g) salt
  • ½ cup (95g) shortening (lard or butter)
  • 1 cup (237ml) 7UP or generic lemon-lime soda
  • ¾ cup (180g) sour cream
  • cup (76g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425℉ (220℃).
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Omit this step if using self-rising flour or baking mix already containing these ingredients.
  • Combine the flour mixture (or baking mix) with shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Mix the lemon-lime soda with the sour cream. Make a well in the biscuit mixture and pour in the sour cream mixture. Mix it until it holds together and becomes sticky, being careful not to overmix.
  • Turn your dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently pat it out to about an inch thick. Cut out the biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a floured glass. Push straight down without twisting to ensure biscuits rise properly.
  • Pour most of the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish, brushing to coat the baking dish evenly.
  • Place the biscuits in the baking dish and brush them with the remaining melted butter.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Oven temperatures can vary, so watch them to avoid overbaking.
  • Remove the biscuits from the oven and let rest until they have absorbed all the butter. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If replacing the self-rising flour or a baking mix with regular flour, simply add 1½ tablespoons baking powder and 1½ teaspoons salt.
  • Handle dough gently: Overworking the dough can result in tough biscuits. Mix just until the dough comes together, avoiding excessive kneading.
  • If your oven heats unevenly, rotate the baking dish halfway through the baking for even browning.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
