Oven: 425
15—18 Minutes
2 c flour
4 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 c shortening (Crisco)
3/4 c 7-UP
Mix dry ingredients together well. Cut in shortening with a fork or pastry blender until it's the size of peas. Stir in 7-UP, just until mixed. Add a few drops more if needed. Gather dough gently into a ball, it shouldn't be crumbly, but be smooth and soft. Knead about 10 times, then roll or pat out onto a lightly floured surface until about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Gather scraps, knead once or twice and pat out again for cutting. Do not twist cutter when using, this prevents the biscuits from rising properly! Cut with a floured biscuit cutter, or cut into squares or wedges and bake on a greased cookie sheet. Serve hot with butter. These can be frozen and reheated at a later date.
