Making due in a Pandemic - it's not 7-UP but it is Tasty!

A long time ago - not in a Galaxy far far away, I got a delicious biscuit recipe.  7-UP biscuits they are called and everyone who has them loves them!  I don't know where the recipe came from even - it could have been on the Bisquick box or a Pinterest.  I almost always have Ginger Ale - because we like Ginger Ale and use it for a lot of stuff - including these biscuits.

This past week though, being as how we are "hunkered down" to ride out the Corona Pandemic- I ran out of GInger Ale and Ginger Ale is not an emergency visit to the store so I had to make do!  We are pretty good at that around here.  I have a small supply of Mikes Hard Lemonade on hand to make "Mikes Hard Lemon Chicken" with (stay tuned for that recipe in another post).  So we substituted the 7-UP or Ginger Ale with Mikes.   

Mikes Hard Lemonade Biscuits

4 C. Bisquick baking mix

1 C sour Cream

1 C Mikes Hard Lemonade (or 7-UP or Ginger Ale)

1 stick of butter melted.

Preheat oven to 350*.  Mix the first 3 ingredients in a bowl and roll out to about 1" thick on a lightly floured surface.  Dough will be a little sticky.  Cut with a biscuit cutter - I sometimes use a small mouth jar lid.  Put the melted butter in the bottom of a 9x13 pan and put the cut biscuits on top of the butter.  Bake for 21 minutes or until tops are golden brown.  If you have more dough than room in your pan, just do up another pan.  The round pan above I used 1/4 C of butter in the bottom.  

The dough absorbs the butter just delightfully and we discovered we like the Mike's biscuits even better.  These make a lot of biscuits and they are great with gravy, honey butter or even stew!  Plan on feeding a crowd when you make them, but the recipe is easy to halve as well.

So don't be afraid to try new things, or to change up a recipe when you are in a bind, short a pinch, or just can't go to the store because of a Corona!

Enjoy and blessed be!
