Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Step 2

Spray the bottom of a 9x9 glass baking dish with nonstick spray.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to remove any lumps.

Step 4

Cut the cold butter into tablespoons. Place the butter into the bowl of flour. Toss to coat the pieces of butter with flour. Using a fork, break up the butter pieces until crumbly and about the size of peas. Stir to toss the crumbled butter with flour.

Step 5

Place the bowl of flour and butter into the freezer for a few minutes to get the butter cold again. This is the secret to flaky biscuits.

Step 6

Remove the bowl from the freezer. Pour in the 7UP and mix together to form the dough into a ball.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat out the dough into a 9x9 square. Using a sharp knife, cut into nine squares. Use a tic-tac-toe pattern.

Step 8

Place the cut biscuits into the prepared pan with the sides touching.

Step 9

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
