These 7 Up Biscuits are a quick and easy homemade biscuit recipe made with baking mix, soda, and sour cream. The melted butter adds a rich flavor and helps achieve a golden, tender crust. Perfect as a side for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits bake up fluffy and moist without any yeast or rising time.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Dough

  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups baking mix (such as Bisquick), divided
  • 1/2 cup 7 Up soda
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

For Baking

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s fully hot when the biscuits go in for baking.
  2. Mix the dough: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 2 cups of the baking mix with the 7 Up soda and sour cream. Stir gently just until the ingredients are blended; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  3. Prepare the dough surface: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of baking mix onto your countertop to prevent sticking. Transfer the dough onto this surface, then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of baking mix over the top. Using your hands, fold the baking mix into the dough carefully, then gently pat the dough out to approximately 1/2-inch thickness.
  4. Adjust the dough consistency: If the dough is too sticky or does not hold together well, sprinkle a little more baking mix as needed until you get a very soft dough that holds its shape but is still tender.
  5. Prepare the baking dish: Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. This butter bath will give the biscuits a crispy, buttery bottom and edges as they bake.
  6. Shape and place biscuits: Cut out the biscuits from the dough using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Arrange the biscuit rounds closely but not touching in the buttered baking dish.
  7. Bake the biscuits: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.

Notes

  • Use a light hand when mixing the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Do not over-flour the dough; the biscuits should remain soft and tender.
  • The use of 7 Up soda helps the biscuits rise and adds a slight sweetness without needing yeast.
  • Melted butter in the pan is essential for that golden crisp bottom and sides.
  • Biscuits are best served warm fresh out of the oven.
