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!

Also, I was wondering if you have a trick on transferring the cut biscuits to the pan. The dough was so soft they were falling apart!
I tried this recipe the other night for a big family gathering and my biscuits came out flat and the butter burned…I followed the recipe exactly however my 7-up wasn't chilled. Do you know what might have gone wrong? Did I mix it too long maybe?
I'm lousy at making biscuits which is bad when you are southern. But these were easy and fantastic, thanks so much!
Margrett – I do think greek yogurt would work
Do you think I could use greek yogurt instead of sour cream? Thanks.
Sass Class – I use a 3 or 4 inch round cutter
What size cutter???

Thank you for such a great recipe. I made these last night and my whole family thoroughly enjoyed them. They were even delicious this morning!
thank you so much!! double it tonight and just the aroma in the kitchen was enough to gain 5 pounds!
I love it and FB it also!
wonderful!
Gonna make more tomorrow and try cutting them out for smaller, but oh my these are good!
Lindsay – I put a little more bisquick on the counter and a little more on top of the dough before I cut them.
Did you cut them out with a cutter? I seemed to have a sticky mess and just did drop biscuits. What did I miss? Cannot wait to try these!! The reviews sound fabulous!
I made these last night and they didn't rise, how thick to you pat the dough out to prior to cutting them? I may have pat them down too much or something. I want to make them again but would love some pointers to make them better
