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!
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

They look yummy and easy to make going to make!
Can the sour cream be substituted with mayonnaise?
You’re never to old to learn, I’m in my 70’s and came across these magic biscuits. Think I will try and see what everyone are saying these biscuits!
Thanks for sharing..
These biscuits are awesome. My mom always rolled out her dough or patted it to make a large piece. She would melt some butter to spread on the top of the dough, and would fold it over, press lightly, and cut out the biscuits. The end result was easy pop-open biscuits ……no cutting required. Also, there are many ways you can alter the recipe to go with other meals, too.
Instead of using sour cream use cottage cheese. Blend it until it is smooth. You can add some dill seed or celery seed to it, too. The variations are endless.
How do I print the 7-UP Biscuits so that I can have it on hand.
I’ve made these for years. The only thing that’s different, the original recipe called for club soda at room temperature. For those watching their sugar intake, club soda is much better. Any fizzy soda will work if you want to switch out the type you use.
I will try the club soda found 7up made a little sweeter than I like!
Mine turned out about 1/2-1″ high, tasty, but, very dense, not soft and fluffy. What did I do wrong?
Make sure you work the dough as little as possible. Do not knead it, but mix it with a fork until it just comes together. It will be very loose, but just push it together and plop it into a buttered baking dish. Pat the top smooth and score it with a pizza roller if desired. You can also bake it like that as one giant biscuit and slice after baking. Another thing I do is to put about a teaspoon of the melted butter in each well of a muffin tin and bake them like that. Very crispy outside and soft and fluffy inside.
These are so crispy outside and so soft inside when made in a cast iron skillet. They could possibly be the best biscuits EVER!!!!!

These are so Good. My Family loved them wants me to make them all the time!!!! Will be a Regular around here so easy and so very good!
I do so apologize but you suggested that I use 1/4 cup of butter. I don’t know where to use the butter for the 7 up soda biscuits made from bisquick. Please email me asap. Thank You So Much !!!
The butter is for the bottom of the pan. You melt the butter put it in the pan and then the finished dough on top of the butter.
Melt it in the pan then put the bisquits in
I love these. I make them all the time, but add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the bisquick. We like them just a touch sweeter.
these biscuits sound delicious and easy to make, could I use gingerale instead of 7-up?
There are no biscuit police. You can use whatever kind of soda/pop you’d like to use.
I found this recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. Wow, amazing! This is now my go to recipe for biscuits. I made them last night, but I had no 7up on hand. I used Mountain Dew instead and they came out just fine. I’m thinking any light colored soda will do. With my husband loving Mt. Dew, it’s always on hand.
Also, I brush melted butter on top of the biscuits right after they come out of the oven!
I make these a LOT!!
BUT…I don’t roll/cut…I just melt the butter in the pan, and spread the dough over it, and bake according to the directions!! just as yummy and even easier!! 🙂
We literally just made these and they were the best bscuits we’ve ever had! Too good and too easy! Right up my ally haha 🙂
