Easy 7 Up Biscuits Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links.
These easy 7 Up Biscuits are moist, fluffy, and full of buttery goodness. Made with only four ingredients and ready in under 20 minutes!

My brother gave me this recipe. In all honesty, I was not super sold on the idea. I mean, biscuits made with lemon lime soda? Seemed crazy.
Turns out, it is not crazy. In fact, this is probably my new go-to biscuit. The flavor is INSANE. You bake a super simple 3 ingredient biscuit dough over melted butter and it is SO GOOD.
The butter on the bottom of the pan forms a crispy goodness, the soda and sour cream in the dough make it light and full of flavor, and the lightly browned top makes it so irresistible.
In no way do I claim rights to this recipe as being original. If you happen to see who posted it first, please let me know so I can give them credit!
Ingredients for 7Up biscuits:
There are only four ingredients in this recipe. FOUR. Insane, right? But believe me, they are so incredibly delicious!
- Baking Mix- Like Bisquick. Something that is used for shortcut biscuits.
- Lemon Lime Soda- We like 7 Up, but I have also used sprite. Any lemon lime soda will do.
- Sour Cream- Full fat sour cream is preferred. I have never made it with anything else.
- Butter- Try to use salted butter if you have it on hand.
How to make biscuits with lemon lime soda:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine the baking mix, soda, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk or spatula to fully combine. The dough should be rather sticky.
- Sprinkle more baking mix onto a work surface and turn out the dough. Sprinkle the top with more baking mix and turn once, making sure to coat the outside to prevent sticking.
- Pat with your hands until 1 inch thick. Cut into circles or squares.
- Melt the butter and pour into a 9×13 pan. Place the biscuits on top of the melted butter.
- Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
Tips for the easiest biscuit recipe:
- This dough is super sticky. Be patient and sprinkle additional baking mix on top if needed.
- If you do not have a biscuit cutter you can use a large round glass.
- These will stay good for up to five days if stored in an airtight container or bag.
What can you use instead of Bisquick:
No Bisquick? No problem! Make your own with this super simple recipe:
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup dry milk
2 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup shortening
Combine ingredients in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture until resembles cornmeal.
Keep the mixture stored in a sealed container for three months.
