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.

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.
Would you like to save this recipe?
- 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.

My go to for quick easy fluffy biscuits, I prefer scratch as biscuits ones aren't as fluffy

I used bacon fat instead of crisco. Turned out wonderfully.

Loved your recipe!!! I adapted it and used gluten free flour (White Gold), only three tsp of baking powder, and one tsp oil with the butter. All other measurements were the same. Used a round cutter and ended up with 12 biscuits. They were delicious!!! I wanted a slightly firmer biscuit as I was using as a holder for ham and sausage and wanted it to hold together. Your measurements will b perfect with butter and jam or gravy. Gluten free is difficult and you can waste lots of ingredients, time, and money trying to get it right even with something as “simple” as a biscuit. Thanks a million😊

Thank you for giving my recipe a try, Donna! I'm so glad the biscuits were a hit!
Sandi says
Came together super easy and turned out sooooo good!! The butter gives them that crunchy outside while the inside is cloud soft. This is a keeper!

We have had your recipe for a while and today 11/20/22 decided to try it. We only had flat Ginger Ale but decided to try it as you had someone ask if flat soda would work. It works! and they were wonderful. These will be my go to biscuits from no on.
