7-Up Biscuits Recipe

Flour: The base of the biscuits, providing structure and texture.

Vegan butter: Adds richness and helps create a flaky texture.

7-Up: A lemon-lime soda that helps the biscuits rise and adds a touch of sweetness.

Coconut milk: Adds moisture and a subtle coconut flavor.

Baking powder: A leavening agent that helps the biscuits rise.

Salt: Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.

When cutting in the vegan butter into the flour mixture, use a pastry cutter or two knives to ensure the butter is evenly distributed. This will create small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough, which helps to create a flaky texture in the biscuits. Be careful not to overwork the dough when adding the 7-up and coconut milk; mix until just combined to avoid tough biscuits.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients, though it may make the biscuits slightly denser.

• vegan butter - Substitute with coconut oil: Coconut oil provides a similar fat content and texture, though it will impart a slight coconut flavor.

• 7-up - Substitute with club soda: Club soda provides the same leavening effect without the added sugar and artificial flavors.

• coconut milk - Substitute with almond milk: Almond milk is a lighter alternative and will still provide the necessary moisture.

• baking powder - Substitute with baking soda and cream of tartar: Use ¼ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar for each teaspoon of baking powder needed.

• salt - Substitute with sea salt: Sea salt can be used in the same quantity and may provide a slightly different flavor profile.

• Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack before storing or freezing. This prevents condensation from making them soggy.
• For short-term storage, place the biscuits in an airtight container. They will stay fresh at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• If you prefer to refrigerate, wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to a week.
• For freezing, wrap each biscuit tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a resealable freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
• Label the freezer bag with the date so you can keep track of their freshness. Biscuits can be frozen for up to 3 months.
• To reheat from the refrigerator, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and warm them for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
• For reheating from frozen, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the frozen biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are warm and flaky.
• Alternatively, you can microwave a refrigerated biscuit for 20-30 seconds or a frozen one for 1-2 minutes, but this may result in a softer texture.
• To maintain the biscuits' flakiness, avoid reheating them multiple times. Only reheat the amount you plan to eat immediately.
• For an extra touch, brush the reheated biscuits with a bit of melted vegan butter to restore their fresh-baked flavor.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Cover the biscuits lightly with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out.
  4. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until they are warmed through.

• Microwave Method:

  1. Place a biscuit on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Cover the biscuit with a damp paper towel to keep it moist.
  3. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Check and add more time if necessary, but be cautious not to overheat.

• Skillet Method:

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Place the biscuits in the skillet.
  3. Cover the skillet with a lid to trap the heat and moisture.
  4. Heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until warmed through.

• Toaster Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the biscuits on the toaster oven tray.
  3. Heat for about 8-10 minutes or until they are warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.

• Steaming Method:

  1. Set up a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water.
  2. Place the biscuits in the steamer basket.
  3. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through and soft.

• Oven: Preheat to 450°F (230°C) to bake the biscuits.
• Mixing bowl: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Pastry cutter: Cut in the vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Measuring cups: Measure out the flour, 7-up, coconut milk, and vegan butter.
• Measuring spoons: Measure out the baking powder and salt.
• Rolling pin: Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick.
• Biscuit cutter: Cut the dough into biscuit shapes.
• Baking sheet: Place the biscuits on this to bake.
• Parchment paper: Line the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
• Flour sifter: Optional, but can be used to sift the flour for a finer texture.
• Spatula: Transfer the biscuits onto the baking sheet.
• Cooling rack: Place the baked biscuits on this to cool down.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out flour, baking powder, and salt ahead of time to streamline the process.

Use a food processor: Quickly cut in the vegan butter using a food processor instead of doing it by hand.

Chill the dough: Prepare the dough in advance and chill it. This makes it easier to handle and cut.

Preheat the oven: Start preheating the oven before you begin mixing ingredients to save waiting time.

Use parchment paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
