7-UP Biscuits Recipe (from scratch) – soft and fluffy biscuits made with lemon-lime soda. No Bisquick needed!

You can serve these biscuits with butter and homemade jam or with Chicken Pot Pie Soup.

7-UP BISCUITS

If you are looking for a new biscuit recipe to try OR simply happen to have some leftover 7-UP lemon-lime soda, I have just the recipe for you! These 7-UP Biscuits are soft, fluffy and literally melt in your mouth. They are super easy to make even without the Bisquick baking mix. These 7-UP Biscuits tastes like fast food biscuits but are made easily from scratch. I don’t buy baking mixes like Bisquick so I made its easy homemade version with flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. You have to try it!

How to make 7-UP Biscuits?

Almost all recipes for 7UP Biscuits call for Bisquick. If you have it on hand, by all means, use it. If you don’t, all you need is flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening.

  • Combine all in a mixing bowl and add sour cream. Stir in.
  • Add 7UP and stir well. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.
  • Flour your countertop and place the dough onto the surface and shape into a rectangle or square (depending on the baking pan you are using).
  • Cut the dough into biscuits.
  • Melt butter and place into the baking dish. Place biscuits in butter and bake in 450 degrees F.
  • Once done, let them cool and serve while still warm.
  • This recipe is very simple and can be easily doubled or even tripled.

How to cut the biscuits?

To cut the biscuits, you can use a round biscuit cutter. Since they are baked in a dish, I wanted to use the whole dough at once. To do that, simply cut the biscuit dough with a knife, into square biscuits. I formed my dough into 9″x7″ rectangle and cut it into 8 biscuits.

Drop Biscuits

https://spoonacular.com/recipeImages/drop-biscuits-1030337.jpg

These drop biscuits are buttery and flaky without any effort at all — mix everything together, drop the dough on a cookie sheet and bake. So easy!

We love biscuits.

Clearly. This is the third recipe I’ve posted for regular old biscuits — not even cheese biscuits or something to change things up — just biscuits.

It’s necessary to have this many recipes for biscuits. Really.

They’re all a bit different, I promise — and having options just makes it easier to always be able to make biscuits at the drop of a hat. And that’s important.

At least in my world.

Maybe we don’t all need a multitude of biscuit recipes, but it can’t hurt. Is there anyone that doesn’t love a hot, buttery, flaky biscuit with their dinner? 

At any rate, these drop biscuits are fantastic. And easy as can be. As much as I love these buttermilk biscuits (still probably my favourite), you do need to grate the butter (or cut it in with a pastry blender) to get those flaky layers.

And these homemade cream biscuits are amazing too, but you need to have heavy cream on hand to make them, and you still need to roll out the dough and fold it several times to get those lovely layers.

But these drop biscuits? Beyond easy to make.

The flakiness in these biscuits comes from stirring melted butter into cold buttermilk, giving you small pieces of butter in the dough just like you get from cutting in the butter, but way easier to accomplish.

And there’s no rolling out the dough, or folding it over multiple times, you just drop it by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet and bake. So easy.

These don’t have the obvious layers that you see in the biscuits that are rolled out and folded before baking, but they’re still flaky and buttery and delicious. And easy. So, so easy.

Now the trick will be deciding which delicious biscuit recipe to make when we want them…

Tips for perfect Drop Biscuits:

·       If you don’t have any buttermilk, you can substitute one cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Make sure your buttermilk is cold when you mix in the melted and cooled butter, and stir until your butter solidifies into small lumps in the milk.

·       I like to use a 3 tablespoon sized ice cream scoop, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to portion out the biscuits. A dry 1/4 cup measuring cup will work well too.
