| 7-Up Biscuits |
These soft and delicious 7-Up Biscuits are hardly a new idea and have been around forever, but boy are they good.
These biscuits have been around forever and you can find the recipe all over the net.
I wanted to try them because I really love biscuits. These are very good, very rich and very tender.

It’s important here not to dump all the lemon sodapop in at one time. Mix in the sour cream, almost like cutting shortening into a pie crust is the best I can describe it. Then add a little sodapop, and stir. Add just enough of the sodapop to form a cohesive dough that you can handle. If you dump in the entire amount of liquid, you can and probably will, end up with a really hot mess. The secret here is adding the pop bit by bit until you get the right consistency.
The flavor and the crumb are perfect and I can really see these with some of the sausage gravy recipe from my casserole.
7-Up Biscuits
Ingredients
- 3 cups baking mix i.e. Bisquick
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup lemon-lime soda/pop or any clear carbonated beverage
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- additional flour/baking mix for kneading
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pour melted butter into a 11x7-inch baking pan.
- Mix the baking mix, sour cream. Add just enough sodapop to make a soft dough that you can handle.
- Turn out on well floured surface and knead a few times. Pat the dough down to about 1/2-3/4-inch in height.
- Using a well-floured biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and place in prepared pan. Try to line 3 across the short side and 4 down the long side.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. I brushed the tops with some butter from the pan after about 10 minutes in the oven.

These biscuits are wonderful and so easy! I melt the butter in the pan so it is ready and then pat the dough into a rectangle and using a my bench scraper cut it into biscuits and place in the pan.

I love biscuits and these are tops! Love the idea of the bench scraper to cut them. I don't have a biscuit cutter so I have to hunt around for something else–these were cut with a mason jar screw lid!!! Bench scraper is MUCH easier!!!
Susan says
love these biscuits. Have been making them for years. I do add 2 TBST sugar to mine, but I do the 4 C mix, 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup soda.
Judith Hanneman says
I’m going to try doing what you do next time I make them. I love biscuits so much, I eat them like cake and the added sugar will make them more cake-like!

Another outstanding recipe from Judith.
Slowly ‘folding in” the 7up is essential, and I got the hang of it second try.
These Biscuits will spoil you. You’ll never want anything else once you taste them fresh baked.
Don’t let the simple ingredients fool you. They are fantastic.
A good scratch cooked Country gravy sets them off and Judith’s recipe works excellent.
I add chipped aka dried beef (sliced in half) to the gravy but it’s pricey.
The cheapo Buddig thin slice beef in the grocers deli works as good and is a BIG money saver.
Why didn’t I ever think of the bench scraper trick? That is one handy bakers kitchen tool.
Judith Hanneman says
They were a disaster the first time I made them!!! I added all the pop, and ended up with soup!! But you’re right once you get the hang of it, these are GREAT biscuits!!!!
Nicole says
I am super curious about this recipe! They look delicious. Do they taste like 7UP?

Not a bit Nicole! I thought that too when I first made them, but they are really the best biscuits ever. Just make sure to add the soda gradually. It was a disaster the 1st time I made them and dumped all the soda in at once.
