7-UP BISCUITS

 

7-Up Biscuits - The Southern Lady Cooks
Made with Self Rising Flour

Several people have asked me about a recipe for 7-Up Biscuits.  I looked at several recipes online and on Pinterest and this is my recipe for these biscuits.  I made two batches of 7-Up Biscuits.  The first batch I used Bisquick and the second batch I used self-rising flour.

7-Up Biscuits Ingredients Needed:

Bisquick or a baking mix like Jiffy or self rising flour depending on which version you are making

Sour cream

Butter

7-up

Most of the recipes I found online use a baking mix in the recipe instead of flour.  Most recipes also called for 2 cups of the baking mix.  I found this was not enough and the dough was really wet.  Both recipes turned out good. I think the ones using self-rising flour were taller but the ones using a baking mix may have been a little fluffier.  The bottoms get brown because of the butter and both recipes turned out very good.  I really liked the ones with flour a little better than the baking mix and you use less flour.  You can choose which one you want to make or bake both and do your own comparison.

You can make your own baking mix, by using this recipe. If you don’t have self rising flour you can also make that too!

Ingredients
  

7-Up Biscuits using a baking mix:

  • 3 cups Bisquick or a baking mix like Jiffy
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine or 4 tablespoons melted (I used real butter)
  • 1/2 cup 7-up

7-Up Biscuits using self-rising flour:

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine or 4 tablespoons melted (I used real butter)
  • 1/2 cup 7-up

Instructions
 

  • Cut the sour cream into the baking mix until mixture resembles course crumbs.  Add the 7-up and mix with a spoon.  Pour the melted butter onto your baking sheet.(You will need a baking sheet with sides or a casserole disDrop biscuits or roll and cut out onto the butter.  Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes checking for doneness since ovens vary.  Note: I cut mine out with a biscuit cutter and brushed tops with more melted butter about two minutes before they were done. If not brown enough on top, turn on broiler for last minute or so.) Makes 10 biscuits.

  • Same instructions as above except you use the self-rising flour. Makes 10 biscuits.

  1. I have made these for my family for the last few years & they really enjoy them. I have always used Bisquick but sometime in the future I want to try it with the self rising flour. Mine are never tall like other pics I have seen so I am hoping the self rising flour could help with that. Thx for suggesting that!4 stars

  2. MaryAnn Powell says:

    I tried both ways and the ones using self rise flour held up better. No one was the wiser but said my 2nd batch(with the flour) was better. ☺️

  3. I wonder if you can drop these on a casserole instead of bought biscuit?

  4. Rhonda Belanger says:

    Can you use sprite instead of 7-up?

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

    2. Pat Williams says:

      You can use Sprite, Diet Sprite, Diet 7-Up. I have also used the lemon/lime version of Le Croix, which has no sweetener at all. It worked fine. Also, I have used plain Greek yoghurt, instead of sour cream. Probably non-Greek yoghurt would work, too.

      1. Stephanie says:

        I’ve used club soda or ginger ale for the 7-up.
        Used Greek yourt for the sour cream.

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      Yes, you could do that Gloria.

    2. Stephanie Foley says:

      Gloria, for each 1 cup of self-rising flour needed use 7/8 cup all-purpose flour plus1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  5. Been making these for years and we love them ! I will never buy another biscuit ever !

  6. jeanie kinman says:

    My grandson who is 9 wanted to make these ..so I totally let him do everything…They turned out great . Made more than 10 biscuits. We ate more than 10…So good and easy to make. Thank you for the recipe. Love your site.

  7. perry mccravy says:

    Try baking them in a cast iron skillet. The only pan to cook biscuts or corn bread in.

  8. Carbonation: what a great idea! I prefer baking from scratch too, but being a cheapskate, didn’t go out and buy a mix to experiment in the interest of science. I found the 7-Up biscuits too sweet but absolutely loved the texture of these biscuits. I substituted club soda for the next batch and they were to die for — light and scrumptious without the cloying sweetness — also much friendlier for my diabetic friends and family members who often gather ’round our table. Thanks so much for the recipes and your lovely website. You’ve created such a nice community!

    1. Kathy MALLONEE says:

      awesome Idea on the club soda! Thank you!

  9. Your mix ones were probably fluffier due to a shortening and buttermilk powder, etc. , in the mixture whereas self rising flour only has flour, baking powder and salt, I believe. I, too, have tried many different ways of baking these through the years as this was Popeye’s Copycat recipe originally I believe and I have used many flour/mix sources and many soda/ginger ale sources and though they were most all good the Pioneer or self-rising flour and Sprite or Ginger Ale were my favorites. Each of these were very good as compared to the others were good. All were yummy but like you said different! Thanks for compiling all these recipes for us to enjoy! You do a Southern gal’s heart good!!

  10. Patricia jennings says:

    Hi did you know you can fry cucumbers just like green tomatoes and they are so good i always peel mine before i fry the just peel and dip in some beaten egg the corm meal and fry

    1. Wendy King says:

      you roast them like zucchini too as well as radishes.5 stars

  11. I made the 7-Up Biscuits using self-rising flour Wonderful. it is better than Bisquik and the Bisquik is good.Thank you

    1. I used Autry Buttermilk Biscuit Mix in is in a red bag.

  12. I made these but I substituted greek yogurt for the sour cream. They turned out wonderful. Couldn’t tell the difference.

  13. Sue Michaels says:

    These are SO good. I was in a rush, so I just patted the dough out in a 9-inch round cake pan and baked them. Spread some more butter on top when done and cut into wedges to serve. Will definitely make again.

  14. Pat Williams says:

    I used this formula with success. 4 cups Bisquik in dry measure cup, 8 ounces each of sour cream and 7-up in liquid measure cup (they are different measuring cups), and mix in large bowl with large spatula. Scrape out dough (very wet) onto pastry cloth or board upon which you have put a thick layer of Bisquik, then put more atop dough. Dust hands with Bisquik, then knead briefly. Pat into square or rectangle, dust knife with Bisquik, then cut into fairly equal squares. Put stick of BUTTER into 13 x 9 pan in 425 oven until butter’s just melted. Remove pan and fit biscuits into pan. Squeeze them in! Bake at 425 for about 15 minutes or until they look brown enough on top. Bask in the delighted oohs and aahs around the dinner table. Especially good with your favorite jam, etc. The recipe could be halved, why would you want fewer biscuits when you could have leftovers for breakfast?

  15. thebetterbaker11 says:

    Yes oh yes! I just tried these for the first time a few days ago…and we loved them. They were fluffy and I adore the crispy bottom they get when baked in butter. OH MY! I’m using 2-1/2 c. bisquick…and while they’re still pretty sticky, it seemed to work well. I will definitely try them using 3 c. next time. Thanks for sharing your ‘tests’ with us.

  16. Betty Manley says:

    I’ve tried these biscuits and you’re right, the dough is very wet.

  17. Deborah Wheeler says:

    These things are awesome. I have found that they taste better when made with Pioneer Baking Mix. Everyone I’ve made these for loves them, and I gave the recipe to a friend, but when she made it, she called me because they didn’t taste the same. She asked me what might the difference be. She used Bisquick, and I used Pioneer Baking mix. She got some Pioneer mix, and told me the difference was amazing.

    1. To me and mine Pioneer is far superior to any other brand!

      1. SpinninJenny says:

        I agree. Biscuick has a distinct taste. Everything I ever made with Bisquik tasted the same.

        I’ve been using Pioneer baking mix for a long time. I’m very glad I switched!

        I love your recipes!

  18. They look & sound real good. I have to share this with my daughter.

  19. Betty Cardosi says:

    Can not wait to try all or most of your food ideas,

  20. I have seen this recipe several times on Pinterest and Facebook,but wondered if anyone had actually made them. Thanks for testing it out and giving your opinion on them. I may actually try them now! 🙂

  21. Went on pinterest to pin this recipe. OMG I couldn’t leave ! So much to see. I am now following you there also.
