Introduction – Why 7 Up Biscuits Are So Popular
If you’re looking for the easiest biscuits you’ll ever bake—light, fluffy, and buttery—you’ve found them. These 7 Up Biscuits are a viral Southern classic that uses just four pantry staples to deliver melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
What makes them special? Surprisingly, it’s the lemon-lime soda. The carbonation from 7 Up reacts with the baking mix to create extra rise and fluff, while the sugar adds a slight sweetness that balances perfectly with butter.
Whether you’re making breakfast, brunch, or a quick side for soup or stew—this biscuit recipe never fails.
🧾 Ingredients
You only need four basic ingredients:
- 2 cups Bisquick (or any baking mix)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup 7 Up (not diet)
- ¼ cup melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
That’s it! No eggs, no yeast, no rising time—just mix, cut, and bake.
👨🍳 Instructions – Step-by-Step
1. Preheat the Oven
First, preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
Grease a baking dish with some melted butter or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick and sour cream.
Mix until crumbly. Then slowly add 7 Up and stir until a soft dough forms.
Tip: The dough will be sticky—that’s normal. Avoid overmixing.
3. Knead and Cut
Sprinkle a bit of Bisquick on your countertop.
Turn the dough out and gently knead it a few times until it holds shape.
Pat it to ¾-inch thickness, then cut using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
4. Bake the Biscuits
Pour the melted butter into the bottom of your baking dish.
Place the biscuits in the dish so they touch slightly.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
5. Brush and Serve
Once baked, brush the tops with extra melted butter for shine and flavor.
Serve warm and fluffy!
💡 Tips for Perfect Biscuits
- Don’t use diet soda – you need the sugar and carbonation
- Sour cream adds richness—don’t skip it
- Avoid over-kneading or they’ll become tough
- Bake close together so the edges rise high and stay soft
- You can freeze the dough for quick baking later
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are amazing on their own, but even better with toppings:
- Slather with whipped honey butter or maple syrup
- Slice and fill with fried chicken for a Southern-style sandwich
- Pair with gravy, jam, or eggs and bacon for breakfast
- Use them as a quick side for soups, stews, or chili
