Easy 7 UP Biscuits Recipe

It doesn’t get much better than fast, easy, and delicious. Our kids love helping us make these easy 7-Up biscuits.

How to Make Easy 7-Up Biscuits

I was a little skeptical about these at first; there was no way they could be THIS easy. But I was definitely proven wrong!

Here are the step by step instructions on making Easy 7-Up Biscuits:

  1. In a large bowl, cut sour cream into Bisquick mix.
  2. Once combined, add 7-up to form a very soft dough.
  3. Sprinkle additional Bisquick mix on board or table and pat dough out, but do not knead.
  4. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9×9” square pan.
  5. Cut 9 biscuits into circles and place into pan.
  6. Bake at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Can I use a different kind of soda in 7-up biscuits?

Don’t have 7-Up? These biscuits will work with a lot of different kinds of soda! Here are a few we’ve tried that worked great:

Fresca
Ginger Ale
Seltzer Water
Sprite
Diet 7-Up

How to Make Homemade Bisquick Mix

You can’t buy bisquick everywhere, so we’ve got a homemade version you can substitute if needed! If you’re just making this for the biscuits, you can half the recipe.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 6 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons baking powder
    1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.

Cut in shortening until mix forms fine crumbs.
Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator.

Freezing 7-Up Biscuits

Planning to save these for later? These biscuits can easily be frozen! 

Make your biscuits according to the directions on the package.

Once they have cooled, place your biscuits in an airtight freezer container or freezer Ziplock bag. Thaw and reheat in the microwave when ready to eat.

This works great when you need to make a lot of biscuits, or if you’re feeding a small family and want to save the rest for another meal.

    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!!

    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

    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!!

    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?

    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

    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.

      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.
