Can I Use a Different Kind of Soda?

- Fresca
- Ginger Ale
- Seltzer Water
- Sprite
- Diet 7-Up

I found this recipe on Pinterest a while back and this is the only way I make biscuits now. It is easy and they taste great. So great the I have to cute the recipe in half or me and my husband would sit and eat the whole pan with butter and jelly!!!
I love the daily recipes and fabulous ideas, however, I do wish that the recipes were more of a made from scratch type. I’m indeed American but I live in Europe and can’t purchase products like Bisquick, cream of chicken soup, etc….. often the title and pictures capture my attention only for me to be disappointed when perusing the ingredients list.
Hoping for some more -made from scratch- type of recipes in the future =D
Thanks for sharing so many fabulous ideas

Yum, how easy. Never thought to add 7-Up to it but I don’t do biscuits unless they’re flaky yet moist… these look like they fit that bill!!
Now these I can do!! LOL! I even have Bisquick in my pantry. Have a great day! Stacie xo
These sound great. I wonder if I could do drop biscuits? They’re my favorite.
I pinned this one too and you make it sound so easy. I must try this!

Would it matter if it was sprite?
Sprite and Gingerale work great too!
sorry for the stupid question but what to do with the butter??
got it, sorry! didn’t read it right.
Can you freeze these? Like make a big batch, freeze, and then only pull out a few for each meal instead of making a huge pan of biscuits you have to eat everyday for a week =S
They should freeze just fine! 🙂 -The Six Sisters
I loved them! They are so easy to make and my daughter loved them, too. She is a picky eater, so finding things that she will eat is a plus.
Thanks for the recipe.

I used Fresca! It was all I had on hand and it worked wonderful!
I hope you don’t mind but I referred to this link in my blog rather than copy and paste the recipe. I don’t like to take credit for something I didn’t do and this is the link. You have wonderful blog.

Thanks for referring them back to us. Have a great week. -The Six Sisters
Could I use Arrowhead lemon/lime carbonated water? It has no sugar so better for my sugar levels.I think it would do the same job?
Thanks!!
We have never tried that before. Please let us know how it turns out. Perfect for those who need to cut back on sugar.
These have become our favorite go to biscuit recipe! So glad you liked them too!!
Can you use diet 7 up?
Diet 7 up should work fine.
It says to melt the butter, what do you do with it? Brush the biscuits, put in the bottom of the pan and put them in it before they bake?
Melt the butter in the pan and then put in the biscuits. 🙂 So easy and yummy!
recipes sounds delicious, but i am feeding a large crowd. someone asked about freezinf biscuits and the answer was yes, however, i am not sure if they are frozen unbaked or baked. and do you recommend a method for wrapping them for freezing? also, should you let them thaw first or bake frozen? what about par baking the biscuits night before and baking them until done in the morning?
thanks
We baked these and then put them in a freezer bag. Then just thaw and eat.
oh my—— made these per recipe, made thinner (12) biscuits used 8 by 10 pan. Used biscuit cutter.
When they were almost done I scrambled eggs , cut deli ham with same cutter, and cheese circles also.
I had 6 perfect ham,egg and cheese biscuits without a 40 mile round trip to the fast food places (you know the ones. The ingredients will now always be in my home.
PPS: for those with a soda stream is made my own bottle of lemon-lime soda, worked great.
even seltzer water works
Made these biscuits this morning and they are heavenly!!!! I normally buy the frozen pillsbury biscuits, but never again. So simple to make! We put honey on ours for breakfast! Yum!
Hello 6 sisters! I have & brothers and no sisters. What is it like to have so many sisters?
🙂
7 brothers
Hi Shawn! It’s a lot of fun to have so many sisters. We have become close friends!
Could you add in shredded cheddar and/or chopped, cooked bacon?
We have never added cheese or bacon but it sounds delicious! I’m sure it would work just fine.
Do I need to bake 1st or can I freeze without baking? We LOVE these. It’s the only biscuits we ear now.
can I use all-pros flour for bisquick ?and how ?
Here is a link for a Bisquick substitute. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/244311/bisquick-substitute/
We haven’t used all-pros flour. We stick with bisquick when making these biscuits.
I’ve made this recipe many times and absolutely love it! I was wondering if you could use flat 7up? I grabbed a 2L of 7up out of my pantry, opened it up and there was no fizziness. Somehow the carbon dioxide must’ve escaped. It tastes disgusting, so I’d rather use it in baking than actually drink it. Do I need the carbon dioxide in order to react with the baking soda/powder?
You will need 7up that is not flat.
