4. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the flour mixture.
6. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the 7-Up soda and buttermilk.
7. Form Dough: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the 7-Up/buttermilk mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
8. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, adding a little more flour if needed to prevent sticking. Pat the dough into a rectangle, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
9. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
11. Serve Warm: Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.
12. Optional: Brush with Butter: For an extra touch, you can brush the warm biscuits with melted butter after removing them from the oven.
13. Enjoy! Serve these delicious 7-Up biscuits with your favorite spreads, honey, or enjoy them as a side dish with soups and stews.
These biscuits are light, fluffy, and have a subtle hint of sweetness from the 7-Up. They make a delightful addition to any meal!
