7-UP Biscuits Recipe (from scratch) – soft and fluffy biscuits made with lemon-lime soda. No Bisquick needed!

If you are looking for a new biscuit recipe to try OR simply happen to have some leftover 7-UP lemon-lime soda, I have just the recipe for you! These 7-UP Biscuits are soft, fluffy and literally melt in your mouth. They are super easy to make even without the Bisquick baking mix.

These 7-UP Biscuits tastes like fast food biscuits but are made easily from scratch. I don’t buy baking mixes like Bisquick so I made its easy homemade version with flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. You have to try it!

HOW TO MAKE 7-UP BISCUITS?

Almost all recipes for 7UP Biscuits call for Bisquick. If you have it on hand, by all means, use it. If you don’t, all you need is flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening. Combine all in a mixing bowl and add sour cream. Stir in. Add 7UP and stir well. The dough will be sticky and shaggy. Flour your countertop and place the dough onto the surface and shape into a rectangle or square (depending on the baking pan you are using). Cut the dough into biscuits. Melt butter and place into the baking dish. Place biscuits in butter and bake in 450 degrees F. Once done, let them cool and serve while still warm. This recipe is very simple and can be easily doubled or even tripled.

To cut the biscuits, you can use a round biscuit cutter. Since they are baked in a dish, I wanted to use the whole dough at once. To do that, simply cut the biscuit dough with a knife, into square biscuits. I formed my dough into 9″x7″ rectangle and cut it into 8 biscuits.

  2. Melt butter and pour into 8" square or 9"x7" rectangular dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add shortening and cut it in with a fork or pastry cutter. The dough should resemble coarse crumbs.
  4. Add sour cream and stir in with wooden spoon.
  5. Add 7-UP and stir in. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.
  6. Flour flat surface (like your countertop) and place the dough onto it. Form into square or rectangle, roughly the same size as your dish. It is helpful to place the dish right next to the dough for a visual reference.
  7. Cut the dough into biscuits. (see note)
  8. Place biscuits in a dish with butter.
  9. Place in oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool.
Recipe Notes

You can cut out the biscuits with a round biscuit cutter but you will be left with some dough. It is easier to cut the dough with a knife into square biscuits. That way you will use the whole amount of dough without scraps.

      Hi Margaret! You can try 2 cups of Bisquick and skip flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Mix Bisquick with sour cream and 7-UP. If the dough is too wet, add more Bisquick. I hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!

    This recipe looks wonderful! I’m getting ready to make them now. I very much appreciate the accurate details of this recipe. I’ve made so many recipes that do not have the details written out and have been disappointed. This recipe looks great and the reviews are also a good indication as to whether it will work out. Thank you!

    These are just delicious and foolproof. I’ve made them three times but the last time I think I liked them the most. My dough was not as sticky as the previous tries (I usually increased the amount of 7-Up but this time I didn’t). Also, I didn’t roll them out. Just pressed the dough into the buttered pan since I was short on time. Once pressed down evenly, I scored the dough and placed in oven. The result were tender biscuits with a shaggy, slightly crunchy, beautifully browned top. Two words: YUM.MY. A perfect complement to my cheesy scrambled eggs.

    Thanks for this easily adaptable recipe.

    I love the light texture of these! I often use soda, champagne or beer in cake recipes but I’ve never tried it in a biscuit. Saving this recipe. Thanks!
