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!

Just made these and my husband ate five. Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!
I made these 10/2/2011 and they were a success! You must have more Bisquick on hand than the recipe calls for because the dough is SO moist
This is the 2nd thing I have made from your blog…these were delicious thanks for sharing!!!
Hey Steph!
I made these last weekend and they turned out perfect. I posted them and linked back to you – thanks for sharing your recipe 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this and many of your other recipes. I've tried making biscuits several times and these are by far the BEST I've made. I love the tangyness of the sour cream.
I make this same recipe using Ginger Ale. They are the best biscuits EVER!! I think the secret is the butter on the bottom. I also brush the tops of mine with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
thank you SO much for this! I'm going to make these using gluten free Bisquick. my daughter will be thrilled to have GOOD biscuits again!
These are so light and feathery it's unbelievable! I've made them twice & they've turned out the same each time. Thanks for a fantastic recipe!
I usually cook them 12-15 minutes.
About how long do they cook in the oven?
Finally, I can make decent biscuits! My mom could make the most wonderful biscuits from scratch, but the only edible ones I could make came from whomping a can on the counter (and we all know they're nothing like homemade). I found this recipe on Pinterest, made them just now, and heard angels singing when I took the first amazing bite — thank you, thank you, thank you!
I think I'm in love Stephanie! Thanks for sharing this recipe. *print*
they look so yummy, how long do you cook yours for?
I just made these. Thanks for the idea. I only had sprite zero in the house so that is what I used. They were delish!
Okay, I just HAD to comment here. I found your site from Pinterest and I am SO GLAD that I did. I have been making your stuff left and right for the past couple of weeks and we love it! I just made these biscuits on a whim because they looked so good and I happened to have all the ingredients. Almost…I had a can of Sprite in the fridge and Pioneer Baking Mix is in my pantry rather than Bisquick. Let me tell you…these are ABSOLUTELY BLOW YOUR MIND AMAZING! I honestly cannot believe how fantastic they were. I was SO sceptical as I was mixing it up and more than a little worried that I had Sprite on hand rather than 7-Up. I worried for nothing…these are outrageous! The way the butter on the bottom creates that crunchy buttery outside is crazy awesome and they are so light and fluffy! Cooking is my passion and I do it a LOT, but I have never made a biscuit that was up to my high standards and it drove me crazy. Those days are over! 🙂 I cannot thank you enough for this recipe!
