Cherry 7-Up Biscuits

Happy Valentines' Day. I love this day since I can make everything pink and nobody complains! I make these 7-up Biscuits quite often (or at least when dinner requires a good biscuit). I had a bottle of Cherry 7-Up on hand and decided to give a whirl and see if they'd turn pink. They dough wasn't quite pink enough for what I was looking for so I opened a can of beets and added a tablespoon of the juice and that did the trick. 

FYI .. these do not taste like 7-up or Cherry 7-Up - they are a delicious flaky (very) buttery bisuit. No extra butter is necessary. They are great with a bit of jam on honey drizzled on them.
