Yes, you read the name of this recipe correctly. If you can believe it, there is lemon lime soda in these biscuits! Since lemon lime soda typically doesn't have caffeine, you can serve them to your kids for breakfast and not feel guilty about giving them soda that early in the day. There is only 1/2 cup in the entire recipe :) You can use 7up soda or do like I did and use the "house" brand of lemon lime soda from your favorite grocery store. These biscuits are fantastic warm with a touch of butter and a little honey. Strawberry jelly would be awesome too. They are also yummy with dinner as we found out last night! Did you know you can also use lemon lime soda to make a cake? I think I might have to try that next. I'm always up for a good baking challenge!!!
Ingredients:
2 cups white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup lemon lime soda (any brand), room temperature
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 1/2-inch round pan with non-stick cooking spray (if you don't have that size pan, use a 8 or 9-inch round pan). In large bowl, put flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Mix well with large spoon. When combined thoroughly, gently fold in sour cream and lemon lime soda. On a lightly floured surface, take the dough and knead about 20-25 times with the palms of your hands to about a 1/2 inch thick. I used a 3-inch round biscuit cutter and was able to get eleven biscuits out of the dough. If you use a smaller biscuit cutter, you will get more :) Bake 15-20 minutes or until they start turning a little brown on the top and a toothpick comes out clean when you put it in the middle of one of the biscuits. Remove from oven and let them cool about 5 minutes. Enjoy!
