Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the margarine using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the 7-Up all at once and stir with a fork until the dough is moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 8-10 times.
- Roll out the biscuit dough to a thickness of about 3/4 inch and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Cut out the biscuits using a round cookie cutter or a glass dipped in flour to prevent sticking.
- Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
