Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Grate cold butter into a large mixing bowl.
Add in self-rising flour and gently mix the butter and flour with finger tips until combined. Do not overmix.
Add in the Sprite or 7UP and mix to form a dough. Stop mixing once all ingredients are combined. If the dough is tough and not coming together easily, add more soda in litte bits until the dough is combined.
Sprinkle flour generously over a working surface. Place the dough on the surface and gently roll into a 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick rectangle. Cut into 2.5 inch circles.
Place the cut-out dough close together (all portions should be touching) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in preheated oven for about 12 minutes until golden brown.
Remove and brush the top with melted butter if desired.

Notes
Golden brown biscuits: If your biscuits don't turn out brown on top, you could turn on the oven broiler for 1 minute to brown the top. Watch the biscuits closely though because the oven-broiler could quickly burn them.
Regular flour: If you only have regular flour, you could still make these biscuits! You'll have to add the baking powder and salt yourself. For every 1 cup of all-purpose or plain flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to make your own self-rising flour. To avoid the biscuits having a metallic after-taste use aluminum-free baking powder.
Measuring the Sprite or 7Up: When measuring the soda for the biscuits first pour it into a cup, let the bubbles settle then add more soda to have the correct quantity.
