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 cooked these with fried chicken,they were better than Jack's chicken & biscuits. Very good…..
Thanks for your help, and for a great site full of wonderful recipes! I love trying them all, and I love reading your travel blogs as well.
Hi Steph!
Love the site and all of your great recipes! I have a question about these delicious biscuits. How thick do you pat them out before cutting? Mine turned out a little flat, and I think I got more biscuits than I should have. So I'm thinking maybe I patted them out a little too thin. Thanks for any help you can give!
They don't rise up a lot so you want to make the dough fairly thick. I pat the dough into 9 inch square and cut them out
I decided to try making these biscuits with the gluten free bisquick. We made two batches, one batch was plain and the other was crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar. Both of the batches came out wonderful.
It's delicious, but even better with Pioneer Baking mix!
I was too lazy to roll these out. So I made them into drop biscuits. I dipped my fingers into the melted butter before pulling off chunks of dough. No sticking! Then for good measure I rolled the dough in the butter 🙂 Turned out awesome!
Any advice on how to make these when camping, with the only heat source being a campfire?
You can use a cast iron pan, covering the top with aluminum foil to keep them from burning.
These tasted fantastic and so simple. ( But mine looked nothing like yours and I only got 5 biscuits ). I think the lack of height was probably due to the altitude where I live, but the taste was just like KFC's. Still fluffy and light inside. Will definitely make again and again. That buttery bottom is heavenly. Wish I could get mine to look as pretty.
These are SOOOO delicious. Thank you so much for sharing such a great recipe.
These biscuits were wonderful! I used diet 7up and light sour cream, it's what I had on hand, and everyone loved them.
I made these and they are great. the only difference i did was i mixed the 7 up in the bisquick/sour cream mix and then instead of patting the dough out on a floured surface i just put it straight into the buttered 9×9 dish, patted it out and cut it in squares. It was quick and less area to clean up afterwards!
I just made these and used only 1/4 cup 7Up. I still needed quite a bit of Bisquick on the board to knead the dough. They turned out absolutely scrumptious, melt-in-the-mouth delicate, and fluffy as clouds. These are good enough for the most important holiday meals! I've been making biscuits for 40 years, and these are the best!
These biscuits are just excellent! Buttery, tender, delicate texture, yet crispy on the ends. I used diet ginger ale and my own homemade Bisquick. I used lots of extra flour to pat them out and a dough spatula to lift them off the counter and into the prepared pan. No problem with stickiness then! Great recipe! Thanks
I made these for dinner today, (Easter 2013). They were WONDERFUL!!! I only had Mountain Dew, and they had to sit in a warm oven until ribeye roast was done, which made them OH SO CRISPY on the bottom. Pure heaven! Simple and delicious. Does it really get any better?
Thank you for sharing!
Carrie – Yes – you will have a little leftover homemade Bisquick since the recipe calls for 2 cups of Bisquick. You many need a little more to work into the dough to make it less sticky. SO your homemade recipe might be perfect. Hope you enjoy them!
Quick question about the 7UP biscuit recipe you have: If I make my own Bisquick, I see it says to add 1/2 cup shortening to it. I will do that, but then do I also need to add the 1/4 melted butter to the biscuit recipe? I assume that I do, but I want to be sure. Also, I notice that I'm supposed to add 2 1/2 cups of flour to the Bisquick mixture, but the recipe for the biscuits says to use only 2 cups of Bisquick. I just want to make sure I'm reading that/understanding it correctly . . . so basically, I'd have about 1/2 cup of my "homemade Bisquick" mix left over once I finish making the 7UP biscuits.
Now that I type all that, it seems like it'd be a WHOLE lot easier to just buy some already-made Bisquick!!! LOL. Thanks for an amazing-looking recipe! Can't wait to try it!
