Fluffy, light, flaky, and buttery, these easy 7up Biscuits are prepped and ready for the oven in a little over ten minutes with four easy ingredients! They are slightly sweet and sure to become all the rage with your family and friends! Enjoy them straight out of the oven with creamy butter and raspberry jam.
These super-easy 7-Up Biscuits are made in about ten minutes with four ingredients. They are so fluffy and buttery that they may become your go-to biscuit. I have woken up thinking, wouldn’t it be divine to have homemade biscuits for breakfast, but who has all that time for cutting the butter into flour and all that jazz? This is the solution to your time-for-biscuits dilemma. Plan a batch for your family this week, and you will see exactly what I mean. I love to serve these with beef tips and gravy, salisbury steak, and smothered chicken.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
See the complete list of ingredients below on the recipe card.
- Butter: Please use unsalted butter, as there is salt in Bisquick
- Bisquick baking mix: Bisquick is a premixed baking mix that consists of flour, shortening, baking soda, salt, and sugar. It is usually in the same aisle as the dried pancake mix at your local grocery store. I have used store-brand baking mixes as well, with equally good results.
- 7up: You can substitute any lemon-lime soda like Sprite or ginger ale.
- Sour cream: Use full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture.
How To Make 7up Biscuits
This is the summary version; for the complete list of ingredients and instructions, see the recipe card below.
First, turn on the oven and add a stick of butter to the baking pan. Pop it in the oven and let the butter melt. Let it sit and cool for a few minutes while you gather the ingredients and whip up those biscuits.
Add the Bisquick, 7up, and sour cream in a large bowl and stir to combine. The dough will be very sticky. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of Bisquick on your work area and coat your hands with Bisquick. Spoon the dough out and add another 1/4 cup of additional biscuit mix to the top of the dough. This is a very soft dough. Work the dough just a bit with the dried Bisquick by patting, folding, and repeating until it is no longer sticky.
Pat the dough out to about an inch thick. Dip the edge of the round biscuit or cookie cutter in Bisquick to help keep it from sticking to the dough. Cut your biscuits and place them on the melted butter, reworking any leftover dough and patting it out again, and re-cutting. Bake for about 12 minutes.
How to make homemade Bisquick
You can make your own if you don’t have access to Bisquick. Whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in 2/3 cup vegetable shortening until pea-sized crumbs form. Then proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.
Preparation Tips and Storage
- This is a soft, sticky dough. When working it and patting it out, add only enough Bisquick to make it work. You want it to be a relatively soft dough. That is part of what makes it so delicious.
- I like my biscuits not to be too thick or too thin. If you cut them thicker, you will get fewer biscuits, and they will need a couple more minutes of baking time.
- Store the baked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

7up Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 4½ cups or more Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup 7up
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Add butter to a 9×13-inch baking dish and place in the oven for 5-7 minutes to melt the butter. Keep an eye on the butter, as you do not want it to burn. Remove the pan from the oven.
- In a large bowl, mix together 4 cups Bisquick, 7up, and sour cream. The dough will be quite sticky. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Bisquick over a small work area. Spoon dough over top. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Bisquick over the dough. Dust hands with Bisquick.
- Work the dough by patting and folding. Repeat until the dough is workable. Pat the dough out to 1 inch thick. Dip biscuit cutter in Bisquick. Cut the biscuits and place them in the baking dish with the melted butter. Rework the dough just enough to pat it out to cut any remaining biscuits.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Texture of these biscuits were so light and fluffy. I have never tried using 7-Up in baking, but these were so darn good. I could enjoy experimenting with this.
Beth Pierce
Thanks, Bedabrata! So glad that you liked it.

Wow — 7-Up in biscuits! I love easy recipes that use unexpected ingredients. Definitely loved trying this recipe for a weekend brunch. I did use dairy-free sour cream and it worked great anyways! Thanks for sharing this gem
Beth Pierce
My pleasure, Jacqui!
Colleen
This sounds really good. Would any lemon-lime soda work? I buy the cheap stuff at Costco. LOL.
Beth Pierce
Yes it will work. Enjoy!
Karen
These are insanely good—and I could NOT believe how simple the ingredients are! I never would’ve thought to use 7-Up in biscuits, but it makes such a difference!
Beth Pierce
Thanks, Karen! We love them too!
Cathy
I loved how they were light brown and crunchy on the bottom with the butter melted in the pan. The only drawback was they seemed to leave a strange taste in my mouth afterward. Maybe it was the 7up. 🤷♀️. I served mine with leftover chicken in a white sauce with peas and carrots and then had half a biscuit with jelly afterward.
Beth Pierce
Did you use diet 7Up, by chance?
Jamie
I get a strange after taste with regular 7up but when I use lemon lime or non flavored sparkling water, there is no aftertaste.
Beth Pierce
Thanks for the tip!

I have heard of 7 Up cake before, but not 7Up biscuits. I would love to make these and try these out. I know they’ll be some deliciously sweet biscuits.
