Marry Thompson Pioneer Woman 7-Up Biscuits are like the biscuits you make when you’re outta milk, outta eggs, and your soul’s halfway gone — but you still want something hot and buttery with dinner. Fluffy in the middle, golden on top, weirdly addicting. Only like 4 ingredients. No drama.
Jump to RecipeIngredients Needed
½ cup butter: yep. a whole stick. it goes in the pan.
4½ cups baking mix (like Bisquick): this is the base. no flour measuring stress.
1 cup lemon-lime soda (like 7-Up): this part sounds fake but it’s not. makes them puff up.
1 cup sour cream: makes ’em soft and tangy. don’t skip.
How To Make Pioneer Woman 7-Up Biscuits
Melt the Butter:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Put the butter straight into a 9×13 dish and pop it in the oven while it heats. Let it melt. Don’t forget it in there — or it’ll brown. (Unless you like that. I kinda do.)
Mix the Dough:
Throw baking mix, soda, and sour cream in a bowl. Mix until it just comes together. It’ll be sticky and weird. That’s normal. Don’t overmix. Or you’ll regret everything.
Roll and Cut:
Dump the dough onto a floured surface. Pat or roll it out till it’s about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter, or a glass, or whatever’s round. I’ve used a mason jar lid before. Judge me.
Into the Butter:
Drop the biscuits right into the melted butter, all snug. The bottoms fry while the tops bake. It’s glorious. Butter might pool — that’s fine. That’s the magic.
Bake:
Bake 10–12 minutes. Until they’re golden and puffed up. The edges get all crispy and the bottoms soak up the butter and oh my god.
Let Them Sit:
Let ’em hang in the butter a minute before pulling them out. They soak it up. You’ll wanna eat one straight from the pan. You’ll burn your mouth. Worth it.
