Pin This RecipeEasy 7-up Biscuits from Scratch
What? Yep, that’s right, 7up biscuits. Some places on the internet call these Popeye’s Biscuits – I guess they taste like the biscuits from the chicken place. All I know is that these were the best biscuits that I’ve ever made – hands down! They were light and fluffy. They only have four ingredients – so quick and easy! We had them with dinner but I will make them again for breakfast. Chicken Legs wants a biscuit with bacon and cheese – YUM!
What is Bisquick?
Bisquick is a pre-made baking mix sold by Betty Crocker. It is made with flour, shortening, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
If you don’t have access to a box of Bisquick baking mix, you can make a quick homemade Bisquick mix.
In a food processor pulse 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 1⁄2 tablespoons Crisco shortening. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter to cut the shortening into the flour mixture.
How to Make 7up Biscuits
These tender biscuits are super easy to make with only four simple ingredients. Start with putting some melted butter in a baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, mix together Bisquick, sour cream, and 7up lemon-lime soda just until a soft dough forms. The dough will be somewhat soft and sticky.
Sprinkle some extra Bisquick on the counter and place the biscuit dough on top of it. Gently knead and fold the dough until coated with your baking mix. Pat the dough into a 9-inch square and cut out the biscuits with a 3-inch round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on top of the melted butter in the baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.
Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- If you don’t have 7up in the fridge, you can substitute Sprite or Ginger Ale.
- The dough will be very soft. Try to avoid overmixing or adding too much extra Bisquick to the dough. The soft dough is what gives these biscuits their light and fluffy texture.
- Can I Freeze Biscuits? Yes! To freeze the baked biscuits, cool them to room temperature and place them in a single layer in an airtight container or freezer bag. Store the biscuits in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To freeze unbaked biscuits, Freeze them in a single layer so you can easily remove a few at a time. Frozen biscuit dough can be baked straight out of the refrigerator at 450 degrees F for 10-12 minutes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature.
What to Serve with Homemade Biscuits
These biscuits are on repeat at our house. We absolutely LOVE them. This recipe makes 9 biscuits. Perfect for a dinner side and breakfast. I love to stuff the leftover biscuits with egg, cheese, and bacon – YUM. The biscuits are equally delicious slathered with sausage gravy, honey butter, or your favorite jam. Give these a try the next time you need an easy bread recipe. You won’t be disappointed!

I made them twice this week, once with regular 7Up and once with diet. They were definitely better with the regular. The texture and look was the same with the diet soda, but the flavor was definitely not as good as with the regular. Thank you so much for posting this recipe! It's delicious and so easy. I definitely have my go-to biscuit recipe! 🙂
Jenny – I've never made them with Diet 7up, but I think it would work fine. If you try it let me know how they turn out.
My Mom has made this recipe for many years but used club soda instead of 7up, her biscuits are always delicious. We always called them Hardee’s biscuits, they taste just like the ones from they serve at the fast food restaurant.
I’m going to give your recipe a try!
These look fantastic! 🙂 Do you think I could make these with diet 7-up or does it need to be regular for the sugar?
These are definitely going on my RecipeBoy's list of things to make. So fun! Thank (Kevinand)Amanda for pointing them out! Happy 4th!
Lisa – it doesn't matter. Either one is fine. I usuallly buy a 2 liter and make these several times.
I will be making these with my daughter this week. Question?? Do you use 7 up from a can or 2 liter OR does it matter? May sound silly to ask but I find a difference between the can vs the bottle. Thank you!
It does not matter. Use room temp. 7 up.
Delicious! But I found dough was so soft and sticky I did not attempt to use biscuit cutter. I just turned dough into pan that had the melted butter and baked. I let biscuits cool at least 10 mins then cut them into squares.
Finally tried these yesterday. Wow, everyone was surprised. They all got eaten with butter and honey before I could get a picture. Just how does that happen?
I've made a similar biscuit and the only difference in the recipe is that mine has 1/3 cup of sugar instead of the 7-Up! I might have to try your version. Either way, my mouth is watering just thinking about them!
Wow, these are great! I couldn't get them off my mind when I saw them. I am going to post them with a link soon. Thanks!
Ooh, those look fantastic. I don't care for KFC or fast food places like that, but I do love their biscuits. These look just like them and how awesome to use 7Up.
I can't wait to try these!!
These are one of my favorites also! Love them!!
that is 2 in a row with bisquick…now I have to go get some!
I have had those many times and they absolutely rock! We called them Popeye's too, because that was my favorite chicken fast food joint.
jackie , I made those 7 -up biscuits and they were everything and then some !! great recipe thanks.
I'm intrigued, I totally want to try those.
Sounds easy and they look perfect – I think even I could make those.
You may need to add a little extra flour. These are the best biscuits EVER!!!
