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!

First attempt and these turned out almost as good as my favorite restaurant biscuit – big, fluffy, tender and buttery. YUM!
I’m sure as I continue to make these, I will like them better than those restaurant ones.
I am doing something wrong. I made these twice and each time they stick so bad to the counter. I think I have plenty of bisquick on the counter and on top of the biscuits. Do you have any ideas?
Maybe add a bit more bisquick to the dough mixture before placing it on the counter.
Wonder if it would work with the GF bisquick; & lactose free sour cream?
Only one way to find out! Let us know if you try it.
How can these be made GLUTEN FREE?
Try using the Gluten-Free Bisquick.
Has anyone made these with Sprite instead of 7-Up? I have Sprite on hand and hoping that will work. Will be making these for Easter so I don’t want to ruin the recipe. Thanks!
That should be just fine. Enjoy!
Yes I did. It turned out just fine. Loved it. Will make it again.?
Yes made with sprite and delicious!
Never buy sour cream do you think plain yogurt could work instead
Unfortunately, I don’t know. I’ve only made these with sour cream.
These are the easiest biscuits to make and taste oh so delicious!! I didn’t have any Bisquick so I found a copycat recipe for that and it was really good!
SO glad to hear you enjoyed them, Kim!
I was just wondering how thick we need to cut them or does it matter?
Does it matter if the butter is salted or unsalted?
Either is fine
Almost midnight and I'm chomping down on some of these biscuits. Thought I'd try a batch tonight & see how they turn out. I'd probably put a little dash of butter on top for the next batch just to get a more golden color. They are delicious. The green bean recipe is all made up & ready to pop in the oven tomorrow afternoon. I know I'll love them and it's such an easy dish to make. Thank you for the delicious recipes.
I've made these biscuits many times and they are always delicious. I follow the directions exactly as written. No need to change a thing. They are perfect!
SO glad to hear that you enjoyed the biscuits, Susan. I agree that they are perfect!
I wonder if I could use plain yogurt instead of sour cream?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I did use Chobani Plain non fat yogurt and they were wonderful.
Been making theses for years. Always turn out great. Earlier this summer I had them started & discovered my can of 7up that I keep stashed in the back of the fridge for biscuits had disappeared. My friend was over & she had a bottle of Jarritos Mineragua, a Mexican mineral water. It was the only thing carbonated in the house that wasn’t colored, I don’t want orange soda or root beer biscuits. Used it, with a pinch of sugar & they were fantastic. It was super carbonated & they were the best biscuits I’ve made. My friend raved about them, & is now known to show up for Sunday dinner with a bottle of Mineragua asking for biscuits. I’ve done it several times since & decided a teaspoon of sugar is just right with the mineral water.
Ever tried making these with Gluten free Bisquick? Not sure if I should try buying it.
Super easy and delicious! YUM!
Tasted great! Didn't have 7-up so I used Mountain Dew. Didn't rise as much as I would have liked. Made then again and let them set out for about 15 minutes before putting in the oven and they did rise more.
As you can probably tell by the title of my blog, I'm from Louisiana. lol. Like my Mawmaw, I didn't use a biscuit cutter. I just threw some extra biscuit on my hands, shaped and slapped those babies on a pan. Lightest biscuits I have ever had. I ate them hot with butter and Steen's syrup. Lord Almighty!!
