I found these simply delicious (easy!) biscuits over on Pinterest, and knew my little crew would love them . . . and oh my goodness they sure did! My husband took one bite and was hooked . . . however when I asked him what the secret ingredient he replied “ummmm . . . butter?” Nope, no secret to that one here, but they'll never guess that the 7-UP is in there (plus, it's a great science experiment to let your kiddos watch as the 7-Up gets all foamy while you mix!) We actually doubled the recipe and baked them in a 9×13 pan which worked perfectly for my bunch, so if you need a few more biscuits just double it up.
7 UP Biscuits

Directions
- Cut sour cream into Bisquick mix.

Serve with honey, or a little Cinnamon Butter . . . yummmmm! (and dinner, of course. . .) 😉

OMGosh!!! you totally have me hooked by the pic….I am so gonna make these babies… and another you totally rock…im out of ink so l totally saved it in a pdf …how sweet of you to help…love your site!!!
Let me know what you think Julie! 🙂
Yea, if that picture is true to the taste…….WOW! I am so trying these tonight!
Hope you liked them Jennifer!
These look fabulous–the only 7Up I tend to have around the house is Cherry 7Up–thinking that that might be a little odd 🙂
Hmmm…. yes, they’d definitely be different! 🙂 (Maybe it would be like a jelly filling though ~ I almost wonder if the cherry flavor would cook right out!)
Ok I made these and lets just say first I felt like my grandma making her buttermilk biscuits…(not a bad thing)…lets just say her hands must have been doing the work…lol because they turned out so great…I know my grandma would have been proud of me heheh…she past away march of 2009 and took lots of great cooking with her,….however I tried to learn alittle from her…I got her dressing down for sure!!! Thank you for posting this simple easy yummies..
So glad you liked them Julie – and what great memories of your grandma making biscuits! (Isn’t it funny how rolling out homemade biscuit dough just makes you feel like a kid?) Love that you make homemade dressing ~ now that’s a challenge! 😉
These look absolutely wonderful!! I don’t want to buy Bisquick since I have tons of flour. Do you have any idea how to do them with flour instead?? Thanks!!
Hi Stephanie! I found this recipe on how to make homemade bisquick, I’m betting you could just mix up the ingredients for it, then use the amounts called for in the recipe. Let me know if you try it!

Loving that picture! My sister makes the best biscuits in the world. I’ve never been able to get mine to turn out right- now there’s hope! I’m so gonna’ try these- then I’m gonna’ try them with gluten-free bisquick…. 🙂
I bet they’d work great w/ gluten free Bisquick as well … let me know if you all like them Sheila! (I promise these will work for you!) 🙂
Just found this recipe. Have no idea how I got to it. But, I’m glad I did. These look and sound delicious! Can’t wait to try them.
They’re so simple and easy Donna – hope you enjoy them!
I *love* these biscuits! My whole family loves them 🙂 but I have made them twice now and the dough is so sticky I can barely work with it 🙁 any suggestions?
It’s been awhile since I’ve made them, but I definitely remember them being sticky too. One thing that I do if I just can’t work with it is add in a little extra flour (usually when I bake any recipe with dough my kitchen is covered in flour!) Also, before trying to make them, make sure your hands are COVERED in flour…. and if they’re still to sticky just add a little more in. (You don’t want to add too much in because it’ll make them dry out, but at least enough to make it work!) Hope that helps 🙂
Can you make these a day ahead?
Just wanted to add that my family loves these! I have used other citrus sodas like Sundrop and Mountain Dew and not noticed a difference. We also leave out the butter. I better not try it with the butter, my family might like it even more. 😉
I’ll try leaving out the butter next time Susan ~ so glad your family likes them! 🙂
Have you tried these with Sprite? I have tons of Sprite left from punch making.
I’m sure they’d work just fine with Sprite, Gina! 🙂
they work great with Sprite and double easily and oh my lands are they delish 🙂
I agree ~ so good Les! 🙂
iadd more bisquick and use spoon turn out very good.
I’ll definitely give this recipe a try.
Hope you enjoy it Rona – we loved it!
Do you have a clean substitute that you could use for 7up?
Hi Tricia, It looks as though you’d not going to ever get an answer to this question, so, since I’m seeking the same answer, I’ll give you my suggestion. I’m going to substitute tonic water, and since 7-up has a TON more sugar, I’ll add about 1 T sugar (don’t like adding sugar, so will try to keep the amount down, maybe even use less). Good luck!
How many servings does it make?
