Seven Up Biscuits


Bisquick
It was told that bisquick ideal was stole by one a top executive chef on a business trip in 1930.In a dining car a chef shared that he used a pre-mixed biscuit batter he created consisting of lard, flour, baking powder and salt.

The chef then stored his pre-mixed biscuit batter on ice in his kitchen ahead of time, enabling him to bake fresh biscuits quickly on the train every day. As soon as the sales executive returned from that business trip, he stole the chef's idea and created Bisquick....." GET IT BISQUICK".

Homemade Bisquick

6  cups Good Brand all-purpose flour Or Cake Flour

3  tablespoons baking powder  

1  tablespoon salt  

1  cup vegetable shortening Or Lard "Lard Is Best"

Directions:


Sift flour, baking powder and salt three times into a large bowl.


Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs.


Store mixture in airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 months.

Use whenever your recipe calls for "Bisquick mix".


7-up Biscuits

4 cups Bisquick

1 cup sour cream

1 cup 7-up  I use the 7 up in the can

2 cup melted butter

2 beaten eggs

Melt butter place in a glass baking pan


cut sour cream and beated eggs white into the Bisquick.... I like using a big fork


Then add the 7-up

mix in and place on a well floured surface
 
 



place batter on a flour board


pat out gently with your hands or roll out about 1 inch thick. I like to uses the square cutters to cut them out.

flour your cutter each time before cutting your biscuits. Once you cut your biscuits add to your pan with the butter.

Bake at 425 until golden brown or 15 mins and after bakeing spread melted butter on top.

Leah Williams’ display of carefully wrapped slices of plain,lemon, and 7-Up pound cake. Since I’d never heard of using 7-Up in a cake, I had to investigate. Apparently, the 7-Up acts as the leavening agent. Happily, the cake did not taste like a can of soda; the 7-Up imparted a lemony flavor, and the slice was dense, moist and delicious.
