7 Up Biscuits Ingredients

Flour mixture, butter, 7 up and sour cream in white bowls on white countertop
  • Bisquick: This pre-made mixture of flour, salt, baking powder and shortening cuts down on our ingredient list. Swap in a gluten-free biscuit mix to make this perfect for anyone with gluten sensitivities. The texture may change slightly.
  • 7 Up: The carbonation basically adds air to the biscuits developing the best light and fluffy texture. Go with another lemon lime soda of your choice like Sprite. It all works just as well.
  • Sour Cream: Swap in some plain greek yogurt.
  • Melted Butter: Salted or unsalted is fine here.

  1. Thanks to this recipe, I’m no longer allowed to buy frozen biscuits. As a matter of fact, the last two in our freezer were tossed after having made this recipe one time. This is so simple, anyone can make them and talk about quick… They can be whipped in no time! I think what I have found to be amazing, though, is just how soft and tender these biscuits are the next day. Simply delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Jocelyn!
