Ingredient Notes
See full measurements and directions in the printable recipe card below.
- Bisquick: Any all-purpose baking mix works, but Bisquick gives the fluffiest texture.
- Sour Cream: Adds moisture and richness. You can substitute plain Greek yogurt if needed.
- 7-Up or Sprite: The carbonation makes the dough airy and light – any lemon-lime soda works!
- Butter: Salted butter adds flavor and helps create those golden, crispy bottoms.
Pro Tip: Keep your 7-Up and sour cream cold before mixing. Cold ingredients = tender biscuits.
How to Make 7 Up Biscuits with Bisquick
Step 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Melt butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine Bisquick and sour cream until crumbly.
Step 2. Stir in 7-Up mixing until just combined.
Step 3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface (use Bisquick instead of flour), pat to ¾-inch thick.
Step 4. Using a cutter or round glass, cut out your 12 biscuits
Step 5. Arrange in the buttered dish and place in preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter for that irresistible glossy top.
Step 6. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan and serving.
Tips for Perfect Bisquick Biscuits
- Don't over-mix the dough – it should be slightly sticky.
- Use fresh, bubbly soda for the best rise.
- Dip your biscuit cutter in Bisquick between cuts to prevent sticking.
- For square biscuits, skip the cutter and slice the dough with a knife.
- Want a savory twist? Brush with butter mixed with Italian seasoning and sprinkle Parmesan on top! Similar to my Shortcut Cheddar Bay Biscuits!
Serving Suggestions
These fluffy 7 Up biscuits are delicious any time of day!
- Breakfast: Serve warm with butter and jam, or smother with sausage gravy.
- Dinner: Pair with comfort meals like Melt in Your Mouth Chicken or French Onion Pork Chops.
- Dessert: Use as the base for Strawberry Bisquick Shortcake.
Storage & Reheating
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
- Fridge: Keeps fresh up to 5 days.
- Freezer (Baked): Freeze cooled biscuits for up to 2 months.
- Freezer (Unbaked Dough): After shaping, freeze biscuits on a baking sheet until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag and bake straight from frozen, adding 5‑10 extra minutes to the baking time.
- Reheat: Thaw, wrap in foil, and warm in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or microwave individually wrapped biscuits for 10‑15 seconds for a quick warm snack.
