I would never have thought to use cup measure. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Does the sprite make them sweeter or does it just give them a fluffier texture?

I usually use a glass but the cup was sitting there...
Yes, both sweeter and fluffier than regular baking power biscuits. I used to make them with 7-up but my son had some Sprite in his mini-fridge so I decided to give it a try. Hope you try them and like them. I am a Yeast Roll kind of girl but these are great in a quick pinch and make great biscuits and gravy.

I love the way that yeast makes the house smell. It always reminds me of visiting my grandmother--since my mother was not the baking sort of person (any you did not want to eat it if she did decide to bake). I will be trying this soon. My boys are big bread eaters and they love the hot fresh kinds best.

our moms must be sisters, LOL. We always say she uses the smoke alarm to tell when dinner it done. HA HA. Get some Bisquick and have the boys make these themselves. I let the neighbor kids come make chocolate chip cookies from the mix. I had one little boy come nearly every week from 7 to 15 years old. Not many mother's bake much these days. Kids love that there is Sprite in these. Enjoy!
