Pioneer Woman 7-up Biscuits
Few recipes can match the Pioneer Woman's 7-Up Biscuits for speed and simplicity in the kitchen. These light-as-air, buttery biscuits require only a handful of pantry staples and a little less than 30 minutes to bake.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup 7-up
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large mixing basin, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine the buttermilk and 7-up in a separate bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.
- Knead the dough a few times on a lightly floured surface until it comes together. Make a 1-inch thick round out of the dough. Cut out the biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a lightly floured drinking glass.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown, on an ungreased baking sheet.
Notes
- Bacon Cheddar 7-Up Biscuits. To prepare this variant, you’ll need to add shredded cheddar cheese and diced cooked bacon to the standard recipe. The smokiness of the bacon and the bite of the cheddar will make these biscuits one-of-a-kind. The flakiness of the biscuits can be improved by using bacon fat.
- Green Chile 7-Up Biscuits. Throw in a can of chopped green chiles for a southwestern spin on a classic dish. Green chiles will give the biscuits a mild heat and create a tasty textural contrast with the otherwise airy biscuits.
- Honey Mustard 7-Up Biscuits. Substitute honey mustard for the butter in your biscuit recipe. The biscuits will have their own flavor thanks to the pungent honey mustard. The biscuits will turn out to look really golden, thanks to the honey mustard.
- Herb And Garlic Biscuits Flavored Like 7-Up. The biscuit recipe can be given an Italian spin by including fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano, as well as garlic powder. It will impart a pleasant herby scent and flavor to the biscuits.
- Jalapeno And Cheese Biscuits Doused In 7-Up. To spice up the biscuits, try mixing in some shredded cheese and sliced pickled jalapenos. The biscuits will have a pleasant heat from the jalapenos, and the cheese will be a good counterpoint to the spiciness.
- Cinnamon And Sugar 7-Up Biscuits. Substitute cinnamon-sugar butter for the butter in the biscuit recipe for a delicious variation. The biscuits’ sweet taste and caramelization come from the cinnamon-sugar butter.
- Maple Bacon 7-Up Biscuits. Substitute maple bacon butter for the butter called for in the biscuit recipe to produce this variant. Biscuits with a distinctive flavor and a golden brown hue, courtesy to the maple bacon butter.
