Introduction

These Easy 7 Up Biscuits are a quick and delicious treat perfect for any meal. Fluffy and tender, they get a subtle sweetness and lightness from the soda. Ready in under 30 minutes, they make a great homemade side.

A white woven basket holds multiple round biscuits stacked in layers of two, each biscuit having a golden brown, slightly crispy top sprinkled with green herbs. The middle layer is a soft, light beige crumb, showing a fluffy, airy texture. The basket sits on a white marbled surface, next to a white plate with more biscuits slightly visible in the lower corner, and a soft white and blue striped cloth is placed nearby. In the blurred background, there is a green plant in a gray pot. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 cups Bisquick
1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
1 cup 7-Up (or Sprite)
1/2 cup salted butter (melted)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the butter into pats and melt it in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Once melted, remove the dish and set the butter aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cut the sour cream into the Bisquick mix until it forms a crumbly texture. Then, stir in the 7-Up until the dough just comes together.
Step 3: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times, then pat it out to about ¾-inch thickness.
Step 4: Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out 12 biscuits from the dough.
Step 5: Place the biscuits into the prepared, buttered pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Step 6: (Optional) For extra flavor, brush the tops of the hot biscuits with additional melted butter or a mixture of butter and Italian seasoning, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Tips & Variations

Substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream to add a slight tang and extra protein.
Use Sprite instead of 7-Up if preferred; both provide a similar effect in lightening the dough.
For a savory twist, add chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough before baking.
Try brushing with honey butter after baking for a sweet finish.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly for up to 1 month. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or microwave briefly until soft.

How to Serve

A white plate holds two golden brown English muffins, one stacked slightly over the other, both showing a soft, textured surface with small green herb sprinkles. Next to them, an opened muffin half reveals its fluffy white inside generously spread with creamy butter. A butter knife with some butter on it lies beside this half muffin on the plate. In the background, a white basket contains more English muffins, all golden and browned on top, sitting on a white marbled surface with a blue and white striped cloth nearby.

FAQs

Can I use a different baking mix instead of Bisquick?

Yes, you can use any similar baking mix, but results may vary slightly depending on the ingredients and leavening included.

What if I don’t have 7-Up or Sprite?

You can substitute with any clear lemon-lime soda or even club soda for a less sweet option; avoid using dark sodas as they will alter the flavor and color.
