7-UP BISCUITS

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.

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.

How to cut the biscuits?

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.

  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)

  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.

    I made these with ginger ale instead of 7-Up. The flavor and texture was incredible, Baking for 2 instead of 5 has always been difficult, but we are having these for a snack and breakfast too! Then, I will have to make them again tomorrow evening. Thank-you so much for the recipe from scratch.

    I am making these for breakfast tomorrow. Can I bake them today and then just warm them when ready to eat?

    These were a fave all around the table!! I usually make them with Bisquick, but was all out. I was happy to find a homemade version!! I did not have any shortening so I cut a 1/3 C of cold butter into the flour and proceeded with recipe. So So good, probably because of the extra butter 😏! Turned out great and will definitely make again!

    For the butter, do you put that at the bottom of the pan and then place the biscuits on top? Or brush them as you put in?

    I have 2 questions. Can I use flat soda? And, can I substitute self rising flour for the all purpose flour, salt, and baking powder?

    Combined, my husband and I have been on the earth 141 years and we have never tasted biscuits this good! Ha, I think that says it all! I’m so glad to have this recipe. Thanks!

    Yesterday, I found a recipe for 7-Up biscuits in our Sunday edition of the local paper and thought it was intriguing. Their recipe called for Bisquick which I didn’t have, so I found a recipe for the replacement and made that–which turned out to be a problem since the original biscuit recipe called for 4 cups of Bisquick and I made a 2-cup recipe! So I looked for a 2 cup recipe and ran across yours, which was also easier since the original called for putting the mixed dough onto a cup of Bisquick sprinkled on the counter and kind of mixing the dry Bisquick into the dough which sounded like too much work (it had been a long day)! So I used your recipe and followed your Recipe Notes and the biscuits were the best I have ever had anywhere! I did brush melted butter on the tops after they came out of the oven just because more butter is always better. I have to admit that mine were a little sweet because the Bisquick substitute recipe added 2 T. of sugar, but even that wasn’t a deal breaker (although I’ll use your recipe next time). My husband even liked them and thought they were a lot like KFC biscuits–I think they’re much better! Perfect biscuits and so easy to make. Thanks again!

    I just made these biscuits the other day. I didn’t cut them, but simply threw them in the pan as drop biscuits. lol They came out delicious!

      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.

      Hi Jaclyn! That’s awesome! I am so happy to know you made the recipe and love the biscuits. I am always excited to see people play with the recipes and adapt them. Great tip on pressing the dough into the pan and scoring! I need to try that next time. Have a beautiful weekend!

    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!
