Homemade 7UP biscuits are delicious and extremely fluffy, with the bubbly 7UP giving them just a hint of sweetness and tons of moisture. One bite of these, and we’re pretty sure you’ll never try another biscuit recipe again.
7UP Biscuits Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2 cups of flour, plus a little extra to dust the work surface
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of white sugar
- ½ cup butter, cold and cut into tablespoons
- ¾ cup of 7UP
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
SPRITE / GINGER ALE: If you don’t have 7UP on hand, you can substitute with Sprite or Ginger Ale instead for this easy biscuit recipe.
SOUR CREAM: If you want to make Sour Cream 7UP Biscuits instead, use only ½ cup 7UP and add ½ cup sour cream.
How To Make This 7UP Biscuits Recipe
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
You can double this flaky biscuits recipe easily. You can cut extra biscuits or just use a 9×13-inch pan and place the dough directly inside; no cutting required!
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray the bottom of a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray.
STEP TWO: Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to a large bowl. Whisk together.
PRO TIP:
PRO TIP: If your flour is lumpy, run it through a sifter or whisk it well before adding any liquids.
STEP THREE: Cut up your butter. Place the butter in with the flour mixture and toss to coat them in flour. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to chop the butter pieces until they are about the size of peas.
STEP FOUR: Place the flour mixture in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to cool the butter back down. This is the secret to making your biscuits nice and flaky.
STEP FIVE: Add 7UP to the biscuit mix and stir together until it forms a dough ball.
PRO TIP:
If you’re adding sour cream, mix the sour cream and 7UP together and add them all at once.
STEP SIX: When the biscuit dough is mixed, pour it out onto a lightly floured cutting board or counter. Use a rolling pin to lightly roll the dough into a 9×9 square. It should be about ¾ inch thick.
STEP SEVEN: Use a biscuit cutter, pizza cutter, or knife to cut the square into 9 biscuits. Make a tic-tac-toe pattern!
PRO TIP:
If you don’t want to cut the biscuits, you can bake this as one solid loaf and just cut it apart after. Just use a slightly smaller pan – 8×8 will work great.
STEP EIGHT: Place cut biscuits in a single layer in the prepared pan with the edges of each biscuit touching. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set on a cooling rack to cool a bit before eating.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your biscuits as the suggested baking time approaches.

Storage
IN THE FRIDGE: After allowing the biscuits to cool, place biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
IN THE FREEZER: If you want to freeze them for later, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to prevent loss of flavor or drying out. They will last up to 2 to 3 months.
Slather these easy biscuits with honey or jam, or dip in gravy or stew! They’re buttery, flaky, moist, with a fluffy texture – everything you’re looking for in a biscuit, but with way less hassle with their minimal prep time and simple ingredients.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use another type of soda?
If you don’t have 7Up on hand, you can substitute it with Sprite or ginger ale for these fluffy biscuits.
How do I know when the biscuits are done?
These simple homemade biscuits are done when they have risen high and are golden brown. If you can tap on the top of them without it sinking back down, they are done.
Why did my biscuits come out flat?
Your biscuits may have come out flat if they were over-mixed. They need only to be mixed quickly and lightly, just enough to combine the ingredients. Expired baking powder can also cause flat biscuits. While you may be able to get away with some ingredients that are slightly past their date, it really does make a difference for baking powder.
