What are 7-Up Biscuits?

Biscuits made with 7-up? Yes, and they will be the best biscuits you will ever make! If you are skeptical, don’t be! Just make them and prepare to have your mind blown. Adding 7-up to the biscuit dough is magic and helps the dough rise to perfection. It creates a fluffy soft biscuit and the texture is incredible. Nestled and baked in a pan of melted butter, these biscuits will literally melt in your mouth! It only takes 4 ingredients to make this easy biscuit recipe and this will be your go-to recipe.

Enjoy these on their own, as a side, or in biscuits and gravy! The options are endless. My kids love these rolls served with their favorite Tortellini Soup or this Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon. To be honest, my kids WANT them to be served for dinner every night!

These 7-up biscuits are perfect for a weeknight meal because they are super easy to make and come together quickly. It only uses 4 simple ingredients! I always make sure to have them on hand when I need a quick roll recipe to serve with dinner. It’s my go-to recipe to make with soups and stews!

  • Bisquick: The base of this recipe! An easy shortcut is using boxed Bisquick, but no one will ever know because they totally taste homemade!
  • Sour Cream: Helps to make a fluffy texture that melts in your mouth!
  • 7-Up: The unexpected secret to this recipe! The 7-up helps create a very soft dough that will easily rise.

7-Up Biscuits Recipe

You will want to make these soft and buttery biscuits all of the time because your family will go crazy over them! You’ll also love how easy they are to make. If you’re looking for a last-minute side dish, these are worth every bite!

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Cut the Sour Cream Into the Bisquick Mix: Next, add the Bisquick to a large bowl then cut the sour cream into the Bisquick mix using the back of a fork.
  3. Stir in the 7-up: Pour in the 7-up then stir to combine. The dough will be very soft, but if it’s too sticky then sprinkle on additional Bisquick to help handle the dough.
  4. Cut the Biscuits: Sprinkle additional biscuit mix on the counter to gently flatten out the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut 9 biscuits. 
  5. Melt the Butter and Pour Into the Pan: Melt 1/4 cup butter and pour into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Alternatively, you can melt the butter in the pan by placing it in the oven for a few minutes.
  6. Bake: Place the cut 7-up biscuits into the pan with melted butter then bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Can They Be Made Without Bisquick?

If you don’t have Bisquick or you suddenly run out of Bisquick then I have you covered! Make your own homemade Bisquick so that you can still make delicious 7-up biscuits. Here is the list of ingredients you will need:

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons of baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon of salt
  • 1 cup of vegetable shortening, cubed

Simply combine these ingredients together to make your own Bisquick mixture right at home. This will make a total of 7 cups of homemade Bisquick, so there willl be plenty to use and store for other recipes.

Storing Leftover Biscuits

I often have to double this recipe because there are never enough biscuits! I always plan for at least 2 biscuits per person. If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, then follow my tips below for storing and reheating these buttery biscuits.

  • At Room Temperature: If there are any leftovers, these 7-up biscuits will stay fresh in an airtight container or sealable bag then store at room temperature for 1-2 days.
  • To Reheat: Reheat the biscuits in the microwave to bring back the warm fresh out of the oven texture! Because everybody loves a warm biscuit!

  1. 4 stars
    Love the fluffy, lightness that sour cream and 7-up (or Sprite) gives it but learned after 1st try that 1/2 cup of soda is waaaayyyyy too much. Video suggests 1/4 cup which was much better. Either make sure your Bisquick is new or use regular flour/baking powder/baking soda combo to get the rise in the biscuits. Will try again but have definitely had to play with it a lot to get it the way I like it. It’s worth trying though. Good flavor and definitely light and fluffy.

  2. I had to add more Bisquick because the dough wasn’t just soft, it was soup. I cut little squares with a knife , looked in the oven 5 minutes later and they were thrice the size lol

    1. The print symbol is in the recipe box with the recipe in the upper lefthand corner. Hope that helps! Enjoy your biscuits! XOXO

    1. I have not tried it with diet 7-Up. I am not sure how it will be with it. Let me know how it turns out! XOXO

    1. That sounds great! Thank you so much for sharing! I am so glad that you have found recipes that you love. Thank you for sharing and following along with me! XOXO
