Homemade Biscuits Recipe (SO Easy and Secret Ingredient!)

My family loves when I make these easy homemade biscuits – and the secret ingredient in this recipe is… 7Up!

Homemade Biscuits Recipe

I found these super delicious homemade biscuits while scrolling through Pinterest years ago, and knew my little crew would love them.  I was right – they sure did!

My husband took one bite and was hooked . . . but when I asked him what the secret ingredient he replied “ummmm . . . butter?”  

Well yes… definitely some butter went into these 😉   But you'd never guess that the secret ingredient is 7-Up! (It's also a cool science experiment to let your kiddos watch as the 7-Up gets all foamy while you mix!)

How to Make Biscuits from Scratch using 7 up

There are loads and loads of great biscuit recipes out there that will yield more traditional biscuits.  One of my all time favorites is Margaret Anne's Biscuits (which are the type you'll eat with sausage gravy… YUM!)

These are a little different but still SO good.  I've found these to be some of the easiest biscuits I've ever made – which makes them great for beginner chefs!  And only 3 ingredients go into the dough. 

They come out incredibly soft and fluffy every time – and you can make a huge batch in a jiffy.  Serve it up with some slow cooker chicken noodle soup or a super yummy slow cooker pot roast!
