Try my Easy 7 Up Biscuits Recipe from Scratch for delicious and simple homemade biscuits made with self rising flour, sour cream, butter, and 7 Up soda. These buttery 7 Up Biscuits are fluffy, soft, and practically melt in your mouth!
It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE biscuit lover. So when one of my lovely readers recently asked if I would make 7 Up Biscuits I was more than happy to oblige!
Although I had heard of them, I personally had never tried 7 Up Biscuits until now, but let me tell ya – they are delicious!
Today I’m so excited to share my delicious 7 Up Biscuits Recipe from Scratch with you.
These Buttery 7 Up Biscuits are fluffy, soft, and practically melt in your mouth and they’re incredibly easy to make with 4 simple ingredients and no rolling or cutting required.
Unlike most 7 Up Biscuits recipes that use Bisquick baking mix, my 7 up biscuits from scratch version uses self rising flour instead.
While there’s nothing wrong with using Bisquick if that’s what you prefer, I typically don’t keep it in my pantry and personally like to use my tried and true self rising flour when making homemade biscuits.
You only need just 4 simple ingredients to make these delicious 7 Up Biscuits.
Self Rising Flour
Butter (you can use unsalted or salted)
Sour Cream (or Greek Yogurt)
7 Up (or other lemon lime flavored soda)

7 Up Biscuits FAQ’s
What are 7 Up Biscuits?
Like the name says, 7 Up Biscuits are biscuits made with 7 Up or another lemon/lime flavored soda.
What does 7 up do for biscuits?
The ingredient 7 Up does a couple of important things in these biscuits.
First, the carbonation and sugar help create a light, fluffy, and airy texture.
Second, the 7 Up works as a leavening agent just like baking soda would and helps the biscuits rise nice and high.
Are 7 Up Biscuits sweet?
This might be the most shocking part about 7 Up biscuits, but they’re not sweet and honestly taste like any other butter biscuit!
The sugar in the 7 Up melts right into the biscuits making them tender soft, but you can’t even taste it once they’ve baked.
Can you make 7 up biscuits with Sprite or diet drinks?
Yes, you can use Sprite or any lemon lime flavored soda.
I haven’t personally tried using a diet version, so I’m not sure if that would work.
How long will 7 Up biscuits last?
If stored in an airtight container at room temperature, 7 Up biscuits will stay fresh for 2-3 days. After that, I recommend freezing.
How to Store/Freeze 7 Up Biscuits
To Store:
Leftover 7 Up Biscuits should be stored in an airtight container or sealed Ziploc bag at room temperature. When properly stored these biscuits will remain fresh for up to 3 days.
I don’t personally recommend storing in the fridge, since that tends to dry out baked goods more quickly.
To Freeze:
7 Up Biscuits can easily be frozen after baking them.
Once baked, let the biscuits cool completely and place in a freezer safe bag or freezer safe container.
Biscuits can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Once ready to make, bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until they are re-heated.
If desired, you can cover with aluminum foil to prevent them from browning too much on top.

Ingredients
UnitsScale
2cups self rising flour, sifted
1 stick butter, divided (freeze 1/2 stick and grate into dough and melt 1/2 stick and place in bottom of cast iron pan)
1/2cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
1/2cup 7 Up, Sprite, or lemon lime flavored soda
Instructions
Place cast iron pan in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F
In a large mixing bowl use a box grater to grate 1/2 stick of butter that was frozen for 15 minutes prior, and combine with flour and sour cream. Stir together until evenly combined – it will look like coarse crumbs.
Next add in 7 up and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough will be sticky.
Remove cast iron pan from the oven. Melt remaining 1/2 stick of butter in the microwave and pour in the pan. Use a pastry brush to ensure the butter gets slightly up on the sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
Use a medium or large cookie scoop to drop in biscuits into the pan. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the biscuits using some of the melted butter from the bottom of the pan. This recipe makes enough for 7 large biscuits or 14 medium biscuits.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the biscuits are a light golden brown.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
To freeze, let biscuits cool completely after baking them, place in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until warm. If desired, cover with aluminum foil to prevent the tops from browning.
