7UP Biscuits. What? Yep, that's right, 7up biscuits. Some places on the internets call these Popeye's Biscuits - I guess they taste like the biscuits from the chicken place.

They were light and fluffy. 7up Biscuits 2 cups Bisquick 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup 7-up 1/4 cup melted butter Preheat oven to 450. Cut sour cream into biscuit mix, add 7-Up.

Why not start a holiday tradition of delivering these delicious cinnamon rolls to your friends and cohorts? Growing up, my mom always made them for her good friends at Christmastime, and you could literally hear the primal groans of pure joy rising from the rooftops of our town.

I’ve carried on the tradition through the years and have won friends and influenced people just by delivering these rolls. They really are that good. A warning. If you follow these instructions and wind up delivering these cinnamon rolls to your friends, be prepared for any of the following to occur:1. Let’s start by making the dough. Mix 1 quart of whole milk, 1 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 cup of sugar in a pan. When the mixture is lukewarm to warm, but NOT hot, sprinkle in 2 packages Active Dry Yeast.

Beautiful Bread. The night Pastor Ryan arrived, he jumped right in, throwing together a bread dough not using a precise recipe (though I’ll provide it for you tomorrow), but ingredients put together according to ratios.

It looked lovely and plump and perfect. Then he put it into…a dutch oven, of all things. Then he drizzled it with olive oil… Then he popped the lid on and put it into the oven. Then I called Hyacinth and said, “I think you’d better get over here. Fast.” Ryan pulled it out of the oven just as Hyacinth arrived. Then he did this. And it was all over.

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water (110 degrees F) in a large bowl; allow yeast to proof or foam (about 10 minutes). Add salt, oil, and 3 cups flour; beat for 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of additional flour to make a stiff dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, turn dough to coat all sides, cover the bowl and let dough rise until doubled. (I used non cooking spray in the bowl). Once the dough is doubled, punch it down and divide in half.

Shape each half of dough into a long slender loaf. Grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper and sprinkle corn meal on it. Place loaves into the pan and cut diagonal gashes on top of each loaf (I use a steak knife). Cover and let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes) Place a Dutch oven or oven safe pan into the oven, place on bottom shelf and fill with water. Eat and enjoy!!!
