This week I made the best biscuits you will ever eat: Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits.
If you scroll to the middle of this post, you can view a short video showing you how to make them. Scroll to the very end of this post to print out the complete recipe.
Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits, more commonly referred to as 7-UP Biscuits, are extremely tasty. They are more moist than most biscuits.
Billion dollar biscuits are, of course, worth a billion bucks! (Or somewhere around there!)
The dough yields twelve biscuits, the perfect size for an 9×13-inch pan. The dough will be a bit sticky. That’s normal!
Be sure to flour the dough and mat underneath it very well so the dough doesn’t stick to the mat!
Here you can see the biscuit dough sitting in a pool of melted butter. What else could make a biscuit taste so good??
Using plenty of butter is the secret to many of the greatest foods in life… (cough cough Clam Chowder and Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits).
There’s nothing that even compares to taking freshly-baked biscuits out of the oven… it is so satisfying! I love the scent of freshly baked biscuits, and they puff up all nicely too.
Even when fully baked, these biscuits maintain a moist texture. I don’t know why 7-UP is in the recipe, but it definitely does something awesome!
Perfectly shaped right out of the oven! These Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits are a must-make.
So much perfection in one picture! There’s nothing quite like a warm biscuit, especially if it’s a Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuit. I made these for my family and they were gone within two days. And that’s just the three of us!
Imagine how these biscuits would fare at a dinner party or barbecue? Enjoy these biscuits! (You don’t have to pay a billion dollars for them…)
Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter,
- 4½ cups Bisquick (or a similar all-purpose baking mix)
- 1 cup 7-Up (or a similar lemon-lime soda)
- 1 cup sour cream (don't use light)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Put the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and place the dish in the oven until the butter is melted. Remove from the oven.
- In a large bowl, stir together the Bisquick, 7-Up and sour cream. The dough will be sticky. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface. You may need to sprinkle a little more of the baking mix into the dough if you find that it's too sticky. Roll or pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut circles out of the dough using a round cutter (or you can use anything else that is round-- a small plastic bowl or a glass). Place the biscuits in the pan of melted butter.
- Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits sit and soak in all of the melted butter.

Oh my goodness, these look delicious! I’ve never heard of adding 7-UP to biscuits. I feel like I’ve missed something monumental all these years! 🙂 I hope you have a great year of high school this year!

thank you!
These look delicious and would be totally awesome with sausage gravy.
Good job on these biscuits! They’re worth a billion, at least.
I have been looking for something quick and easy. These look so good-can’t wait to try the recipe. Thanks for posting.
Soda and sour cream? Really? Yes! Really! Came across the adaptation of this recipe on Flipboard and found the original right here. These were AWESOME! I would sooooo make these for any special occasion/holiday party/get together/ birthday party/wedding/divorce/”bought a new car” party/it’s 2:00 AM and the closest McDonalds is an hour away – let’s make biscuits party…. you get the point.
Soft. Buttery. (that’s the best part – all the butter). Goes with anything. Definitely the type of recipe that you will pass on to your friends, neighbors, aunts, uncles, the fed-ex guy, your children, and your children’s children.
Off to peruse the other recipes on this site and eat another biscuit.
🙂
These biscuits are AWESOME!!!!! Found your site 2 days ago – very impressed! You keep up the good work. Have a great year at school! God bless you and your family!
Fantastick.I love that
Also, you can use a can of beer in place of 7-Up. The alcohol cooks out and leaves a delicious flavor in the dough. Actually, it was in a little recipe booklet that I found inside the box of Bisquick! I made it one time and that was enough….it made me woozy!! Lol
I guess you can tell I don’t drink alcoholic beverages!!
You couldn’t get woozy from the alcohol because the alcohol evaporates.
I can’t fi n d the quantities required to make these bisquits.
Can you please tell me?
Thank you
You need to scroll down to the end to see the recipe.
Can these biscuits or the raw dough be frozen? I purchased way too much sour cream for a party and am looking for ways to use it up.
Thanks
I’m not sure… I haven’t tried freezing the dough. The biscuits would probably be fine frozen and defrosted… but they’re best warm right out of the oven!
First, please let me compliment you on baking (and I’m assuming you also like to cook); it’s a joy to see a young man learning his way in the kitchen–any young person, actually–and this makes me think of when I was teaching my son to cook. He just loved it, and as an adult, he would come up with delicious dishes that I never thought of, and he’d share the recipes with me.
Second, thank you for this recipe; I’ve been looking for a way to use up a large box of a Bisquick-type mix, and these call for plenty of it, so this will help immensely. I look forward to making them for dinner Monday night 🙂
Thank you!
I like to brush mine with a little more butter after they come out of the oven. But I am a glutton!!
These biscuits were sooooo good! They were fairly simple for a novice cook like myself. I burned the butter in the oven, I left it in too long while it was melting. It wasn’t burned bad, though. It was a light brown color instead of yellow. Even with slightly burned butter they were amazing. I can’t wait to make them for my friends and family, they will be so impressed. Thank you for sharing.
Is the quantity of Bisquick correct? I made them and it was too dry, does not hold together.
I ended up doubling the soda
yes, it’s correct!
Yummy! De-lish! Perfect. This is going into our “Family Recipe” collection.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
These look amazing. Can I use ginger ale or another carbonated beverage other than 7-up?
I haven’t tried anything but 7-UP!
@Donna, Someone else commented about using beer in place of 7-up, so I imagine you can try anything carbonated that suits your fancy.
Bisquick is not the best thing to make biscuits,buuuut,The best one s I ever had was using beer in the bisquick. The yeast in the beer makes it sooo good! Try it sometime.
So Im curious before I make these….they sound awesome but with all that butter the bottom doesn’t get soggy??
No! Just a buttery biscuit!
Can you use an aluminum pan or does it have to be a glass baking dish?
I haven’t tried it with an aluminum pan, but I’m sure it would be okay!
These are fab!! Thanks for sharing! I made mine in an aluminum pan and they came out perfect!
I’ve made these before, they came out great. I was planning on making them today, but as I was gathering the ingredients I found that all I had left of my Bisquick was exactly 4 cups. Is there anything else I could use to get the 1/2 cup to make the total amount of Bisquick, or can I just halve the recipe?
I’m not sure– what did you end up doing?
These biscuits are really amazing. So soft and buttery, my family loves them. Side note I made these a second time and only had flat 7-up, does work lol.
My husband’s review.. “these are the biscuits that I’ve always tried to make!!” Our new go-to for biscuits! No more of those fridge rolls.
Omg these are the best biscuits my mom is 84 years old and this is the only thing she wants to eat thank you so much and mom thanks you too.
Don’t know why people want to change the recipe make it this way or make your own. Will defiantly try this one . Thanks, will look for more easy recipes from you
Can you use diet 7-up?
I think so? We haven’t tried it.
This is the easiest, quickest and best tasting biscuit recipe ever. It works really well to add some shredded cheese and/or chives for variety.
I substituted Seagram’s Ginger Ale for the lemon-lime soda and the biscuits turned out beautiful and tasted delicious!
These biscuits have been on my family’s list of favorites for quite a few years. Every special occasion warrants my biscuits. I don’t go to the trouble of cutting them into circles. I just pat the dough into a shape close to the size of my baking dish. Then I use a pizza cutter to cut it into 12 squares. Pop them into the butter(OMG!) and bake. They always come out so soft and fluffy and oh so good!
Can you use sugar free 7 up?
I think I have read that others have used diet, so I think it’s okay.
My family of 6 loves these and I can’t make them enough!
I may never make regular biscuits again! My family loved these yummy buttery biscuits so much that they told their friends about them and I had several people asking for the recipe.
LOVED THEM & SO EASY TO MAKE!!!
Can’t wait to try these biscuits
