Homemade 7up Biscuits is an easy 4-ingredient recipe that makes fluffy, buttery biscuits. Ready in under 25 minutes, they are perfect for breakfast, topped with jam, or served alongside a bowl of hamburger macaroni soup or my easy chili.
Holly’s Recipe Highlights: 7up Biscuits
- Flavor: These biscuits are soft and fluffy inside, with crisp golden edges. They are buttery with a mild sweetness from the soda. But don’t worry, these biscuits don’t taste like 7Up.
- Skill Level: Beginner-friendly, no yeast, no kneading necessary.
- Why It Works: Grated cold butter creates steam as it bakes for flaky, tender layers, while the carbonation in the 7Up helps the biscuits rise.
- Serving: Serve a batch for breakfast warm with butter, jam, honey, or homemade white gravy. Or serve it as a side with my favorite cauliflower leek soup.
Total Time: 24 Mins Makes: 6 Biscuits Cooking Method: Baked
Ingredients Notes
- Bisquick Baking Mix: Use Original Bisquick or a similar complete biscuit mix. For the best results, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off without packing it down.
- Lemon-Lime Soda: Choose a regular lemon-lime soda, like 7Up or Sprite, to add sweetness and moisture while the carbonation makes the biscuits light and fluffy. Diet soda can be used.
- Sour Cream: Full-fat sour cream gives these biscuits rich flavor and a tender texture. If replacing with light sour cream, the biscuits may not be quite as rich.
- Cold Butter: Grate very cold butter so it mixes evenly into the dough. If it is too soft, freeze it for about five minutes before grating.
Variations
- Cheddar Biscuits: Fold a cup of shredded sharp cheddar into the final shaggy dough before shaping.
- Garlic Herb Biscuits: Add dried parsley, chives, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning to the dry ingredients.
How to Make 7up Biscuits
- Grate the cold butter into a large bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Gently press the dough to 1-inch thick and cut out six biscuits.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown (full recipe below).
Serve while warm, or save for breakfast sandwiches, pepper gravy, or to use as a chicken pot pie topping.
Storing Leftover Biscuits
- Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Add a paper towel to absorb moisture.
- To freeze, wrap cooled biscuits individually in plastic wrap, then freeze in a zippered bag for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight. Then warm at 350°F until heated through. Cover loosely with foil if needed.
