Ingredients (Makes 8–10 Biscuits)

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
¾ cup 7-Up soda (or another lemon-lime soda)
Optional: Zest of 1 lemon for added brightness

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Tip : Keep the butter cold for flakier biscuits!

Step 4: Add the 7-Up Soda

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the 7-Up soda. If using lemon zest, stir it in now. Gently mix until the dough just comes together—be careful not to overwork it.
