7 UP BISCUITS

2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup 7-up
...
1/4 cup melted butter
Cut sour cream into biscuit mix, add 7-Up. Makes a very soft dough.
Sprinkle additional biscuit mix on board or table and pat dough out. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9 inch square pan. Place cut biscuits in pan and bake at 450 degrees until golden brown.
BUTTER DIP BISCUITS

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp sugar
...
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
2/3 - 1 cup buttermilk or milk

Heat the oven to 450°F. Cut the butter into pieces and place them in a 8-inch square microwave safe baking dish. Put the dish in the microwave and melt the butter. You can also put the baking dish in the oven to melt the butter as it pre-heats. (The dish in the microwave is just faster.)

While the butter is melting, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in 2/3 cup buttermilk; continue to add more buttermilk until a loose dough forms. (I used about 2-3 Tbsp more than the 2/3 cup)

Remove baking dish from the microwave/oven and press biscuit dough in the pan over the melted butter (It helps to put a little flour on top of the dough or your fingers). Using a knife, cut the biscuits into 12 squares. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Ingredients:
1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
2 & 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces grated yellow cheddar cheese
3/4 cup whole milk

Ingredients for Garlic Butter:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions:
1. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Lightly mist a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Make the biscuits: pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the shortening and pulse until combined. Add the butter; pulse 4 or 5 times, or until the butter is in pea-size pieces. add the cheese and pulse 2 or 3 times. Pour in the milk and pulse just until the mixture is moistened and forms a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a clean surface and gently knead until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.

3. Drop the dough onto the baking sheet in scant 1/4-cup portions, 2-inches apart, and bake until golden, 25 to 20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, make the garlic butter: Melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook for 1 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.

BACON ONION PAN ROLLS

'These buttery bacon-filled rolls are a favorite item at family get-togethers,' reports Liz Vaughn of Mt. Prospect, Illinois. 'We have to hide them from our two sons-in-law or there wouldn't be any left for dinner!'"

 Ingredients

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, divided
  • 1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

Directions

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter; brush with 3 tablespoons butter. Place 1 teaspoon of bacon and onion on half of each roll. Fold over and pinch to seal. Place, pinched edge up, in a greased 9-in. square baking pan, forming three rows of six. Brush tops with remaining butter. Let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

FRENCH ONION PAN ROLLS

 "A crusty topping of Parmesan cheese and onion soup mix adds lots of flavor to these golden brown rolls from Anne Prince of Elkhorn, Wisconsin. 'They're great with a bowl of soup or a salad,' she says. 'I sometimes use frozen rolls to make preparation even easier.'

Directions

  1. Divide the bread dough into 20 portions; shape each into a ball. In a bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and soup mix. Place butter in another bowl. Roll each ball in butter, then in the cheese mixture. Arrange in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  2. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
