Cream Soda Biscuits

Ingredients
Instructions
- Fill a medium-sized bowl three-quarters full with self-rising flour.
- Make a well in the middle of the flour and add 1/2 cup of oil.
- Slowly pour in the cream soda while stirring gently.
- Continue stirring until a soft dough ball forms, adding flour from the edges as needed.
- Knead the dough gently on a floured surface a couple of times, without overworking.
- Flatten the dough to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin or flat of your hand.
- Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or whatever is available.
- Pour a small amount of oil into the bottom of a Dutch oven or baking sheet.
- Place the biscuits in the pan and turn them over so both sides are coated with oil.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a light hand when kneading the dough to keep the biscuits tender. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Experiment with flavored cream sodas for a twist, such as vanilla or cherry, which can enhance the flavor profile. Ensure your baking surface is well-floured to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
These cream soda biscuits are delicious served warm with butter or jam. They pair beautifully with a hearty soup or salad for a comforting meal. For a fun twist, serve them alongside Baked Cream Cheese for a delightful appetizer spread. They can also be enjoyed as a sweet treat with coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. For a softer texture, you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits without cream soda?
Yes, you can substitute cream soda with any carbonated beverage, such as lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. This will still provide the necessary lift and a hint of sweetness to the biscuits.
How can I make these biscuits sweeter?
If you'd like a sweeter biscuit, consider adding a few tablespoons of sugar to the dry ingredients. You can also drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the warm biscuits before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Can I freeze these biscuits for later?
Absolutely! Once baked, allow the biscuits to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply reheat directly from the freezer.
