Here’s the full recipe for these easy-to-make 7-Up Biscuits!
Ingredients for 7-Up Biscuits
- 4 cups Bisquick
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup 7-Up
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions for Making 7-Up Biscuits
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2: Mix the Dough
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together 4 cups of Bisquick, 1 cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of 7-Up. The dough will be very soft, but don’t worry—that’s exactly how it should be!
Step 3: Knead the Dough
- Knead and Coat the Dough: Sprinkle some additional Bisquick on your work surface. Place the dough on top and gently knead it, folding it over until it’s coated with the baking mix. Avoid over-kneading to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
Step 4: Pat and Cut the Biscuits
- Shape the Dough: Pat the dough out to about ½-inch thickness.
- Cut the Biscuits: Using a round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and set them aside.
Step 5: Prepare the Baking Dish
- Melt the Butter: Melt ½ cup of butter and pour it into the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish or a cookie sheet.
- Place the Biscuits: Arrange the biscuits in the dish, directly on top of the melted butter.
Step 6: Bake the Biscuits
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 7: Serve
- Serve Warm: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and serve them warm. They pair perfectly with honey, jam, or even more butter!
Cooking Notes
- Soft Dough: Don’t worry if the dough is very soft and sticky—it’s supposed to be! Use plenty of Bisquick on your work surface to help with kneading and shaping the dough.
- 7-Up Substitutes: If you don’t have 7-Up, you can substitute it with Sprite or any other lemon-lime soda.
- Make Ahead: These biscuits are best served fresh, but you can make the dough ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 day before baking.
Variations of 7-Up Biscuits
Cheesy 7-Up Biscuits
Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit dough for a cheesy, savory twist. The cheese adds extra flavor and richness to the biscuits.
Herb-Infused 7-Up Biscuits
Mix in 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs (like rosemary, thyme, or parsley) into the dough for a fragrant, herb-infused version. This is a great option if you’re serving the biscuits as a side dish for dinner.
Garlic Butter 7-Up Biscuits
For a garlic-flavored version, mix 1-2 teaspoons of garlic powder into the melted butter before placing the biscuits in the pan. This gives the biscuits a delicious, garlicky crust.
