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.

Found on pinterest, and had to make my own bisqwik (which was fun & easy) and then used my own mix for these biscuits. Fantastic! The dough is very loose and sticky…just pat it into about 1/4 cup more mix on your cutting board. Turn it a few times and then pat. I was able to make 8 and filled the small areas of the pan with dough bits.
There are none left…the family Loves these!!!
has anyone tried using Krusteaz instead of Bisquick?
Thanks for the great recipe. I like it best when using reduced fat sour cream, Sprite Zero, Bisquick, and salted butter. See you on Pinterest. Linda
BEST BISCUITS EVER!!! My husband agrees and he's SOUTHERN! I will love you forever and ever and ever for this recipe.
Only change I made was to brush the tops with a bit of melted butter while they were cooling.
I <3 U
Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I made these tonight and every one was gone off the platter. My husband said "if you ever make biscuits again, only make these".. Before I dumped the dough onto a powdered countertop, I did sprinkle some more Bisquick over it.. didn't have any issues with it being sticky at all. Thanks again ~ Pam
Found this recipe on Pinterest..must say they were delicious! We had them tonight and will definitely be having again. 🙂
To everyone having issues with them being too sticky, I would either densely pack the Bisquick or just add a few tablespoons at a time until its no longer sticky, I made these last night and probably ended up using at least 2.5 cups, and they were amazing!!!
Thanks so much for this recipe! I found it via pinterest and now we love these biscuits at our house! One thing I've noticed, the dough is completely different if you use 7-up that's already been opened rather than opening a new bottle. New is definitely better. If it's even a little flat I have to add more bisquick to get it to be a useable dough. I am going to look for small cans of 7up instead of using 2 liters. Also, to cut down on mess I flour a cookie pan and spread the dough out on that. It seems easier to clean the pan than the counter or table.
I have tried these 4 or 5 times and can not ever pat it out, or cut them without the dough becoming so sticky.. even with putting some bisquick on the counter and on my hands.. I have to scrub the counter for like 15 mins to get it off. Idk what I'm doing wrong.. they still taste ok but I would love to be able to make them the right way? I may try the ice cream scoop suggestion above..
Hayley maybe try adding a little more Bisquick to the mix to make it less sticky. Also make sure you use a dry measuring cup to measure the sour cream and level it off. Make sure you use a liquid measuring cup to measure the 7-up and look at it at eye level to be sure it's the right amount. As far as cleanup if you wipe down your counter and then place wax paper down (wetting the counter helps hold the wax paper in place), you can put your bisquick on the wax paper and make your biscuits. When finished just toss the wax paper in the trash. This makes clean up so much easier. Hope this helps.
Wow! These look fabulous and super easy. Seems to have great reviews too. Can't wait to give it a shot!
I get about 9 – 10 biscuits when I make them. I pat the dough out into about a 9×9 square and then cut them out
How thick do you roll it out? Mine seemed thin and I rolled out 15. Did I do something wrong?
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 was having a hard time making these… way too runny to cut the dough out. So now I do it this way… I pack the bisquick in the measuring cups very densely. Once mixed, I don't pour it out like the author suggests. Instead, since I mix it in my stand mixer, I scoop out with an ice cream scooper (not over loaded, just even with the scooper). I use a 9×13 pan, and make 12 evenly sized biscuits. I made a double batch today for Thanksgiving tomorrow! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I know it depends on the size, but how many would you say this averages? And if I were going to just use the direct to pan thought, what size pan do you use?
THese were great. Mine stayed a little flat….how thick do you cut yours? My bisquick is brand new. Also, the picture showed it baked in a glass dish so that is what I used…my oven is a bit finicky, so stoneware sometimes work better. After reading that you typically use stoneware I will do that next time. They are very tasty!
Jessica – I usually add some flour or Bisquick to the counter before I pat the dough out. I also dust the top of the dough with a little more flour/Bisquick. The dough is very soft. You want to make sure not to over mix it – just mix it until the Bisquick is combined. You could also just pat the dough in the pan and cut them into squares directly in the pan like the "Butter Dips" on my site.
Not sure why they were flat. Make sure the Bisquick is fresh and maybe don't roll them as thin.
I bake my biscuits in a stoneware pan – I think that helps keep them from burning. You could try a glass dish as well.
