directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Cut the sour cream into your biscuit mix. "Cutting in" is simply incorporating your sour cream, butter or shortening into your dry baking mix without using a mixer. You can use a fork, knife, pastry cutter or the tools God gave you, your fingers. You just want to make sure that each portion of your {wet} ingredient gets coated with the dry mix.
- Stir in 1/2 cup 7 Up. The dough will be very soft, don't worry.
- Sprinkle additional baking mix on to your counter, about a 1/2 cup seems to work just fine.
- Knead and fold dough until coated with your baking mix. Pat dough out, (no rolling pin needed) and cut biscuits using a round biscuit/cookie cutter. Don't have one, no problem, you can certainly use a glass or empty soup can to cut out your biscuits. Where there's a will, there's a way! Improvising is fine.
- Melt butter in a 9 inch square pan. I stick my pan and butter in the oven for a few minutes. Just a few though, the butter will burn, so watch it.
- Place cut biscuits on top of melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes or until brown.

This is not so much a review of the recipe, but a review of the reviewers. Don't give a recipe a 3 star rating when you didn't even try it as is. Here is a paraphrase "I made all these changes and they were not good. Here is a 3 star rating." How dumb is that? You didn't even review this recipe. You reviewed a completely different recipe that you created on your own. Make the recipe as it is written and review it as written, or don't review it at all. I see this all the time on this site.

I was bound and determined to perfect this almost already-perfect 7-Up Biscuit recipe! There are many versions and variations to this particular recipe, but this recipe is the simplest and best recipe of them all. I've made the biscuits a dozen times or so with consistent results each time. The texture of the biscuits speaks for itself; however I was wanting a more fluffy, lighter biscuit so I added 1/2 tsp baking powder to the biscuit mix before cutting in the sour cream. I let them sit for about 15-20 mins and they DID rise approximately 1/4 to 1/3 more than the recipe without baking powder. But the real surprise came after the biscuits came out of the oven -- I had my LIGHT and FLUFFY biscuits! They were absolutely awesome with honey and butter spread on them. Needless to say, my family loved them too, as there were NO leftovers!

Delicious and so easy...we loved them...yes the dough is sticky but you just have to work with it...I got 10 biscuits out of mine...although next time I think I will not pat the dough so thin and get the 9 bigger biscuits...made for..."What's on the Menu" tag game...

I modified the recipe to where they are drop biscuits. I preheated the oven to 450°f. I melted 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter in the 9 x 13 pan. Then combined 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of 7 up, 2 1/2 cups of bisquick with a fork, not over mixing. I allow it to sit for 5 to 8 minutes allowing it to rise. I take a large spoon and drop into the pan. Once they bake for15 minutes, they turn out really fluffy, moist inside and buttery and crispy on the bottom. I butter the top of the biscuits and voila! Super easy peasy biscuits!

I also added 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

Yes, these are easy and yes, you get a nice light roll. However, they are pretty tasteless. I didn't use all the butter so perhaps that would make them a bit more tasty. I also substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream to bring down the fat content, too. Perhaps the sour cream makes them taste better. So, if you are thinking of substituting, think again. I may try them again with full fat butter and sour cream.
