Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love these biscuits because they are so easy to make, and they turn out incredibly tender and buttery. The combination of 7-Up and sour cream creates a super soft and fluffy texture, while the melted butter in the baking dish gives them a golden, crisp edge that melts in your mouth. Plus, the best part? They’re made with only four ingredients, making it a foolproof recipe for anyone to try. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any special occasion.
Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
4 ½ cups Bisquick or similar baking mix
1 cup 7-Up or similar lemon-lime soda
1 cup sour cream (avoid using light sour cream)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheating oven. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick, sour cream, and 7-Up. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix, as the dough will be soft and sticky.
Prepare a lightly floured surface and transfer the dough. Gently pat it down to about ½-inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or floured glass, cut out the biscuits.
Arrange the biscuits directly in the baking dish with the melted butter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool slightly, then serve warm for the ultimate buttery indulgence.

FAQs
Can I use a different soda than 7-Up?
Yes, you can use any lemon-lime soda, such as Sprite or Sierra Mist, as a substitute.
What type of butter should I use?
I recommend using salted butter for the best flavor, but unsalted butter will work as well. Just add a pinch of salt to the dough if you opt for unsalted butter.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just let it come to room temperature before cutting and baking.
Why is my dough sticky?
The dough will be sticky by nature due to the combination of sour cream and 7-Up. Be sure to flour your surface lightly when transferring and shaping the dough.
Can I freeze the biscuits?
Yes! You can freeze the biscuits before baking. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake them from frozen at 425°F for 15-18 minutes.
