Bisquick Biscuit Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
These Spite biscuits come with a short ingredient list!
- Bisquick – You can use store-bought or Homemade Bisquick Mix. (Once you have Bisquick on hand, use it to make Bisquick Waffles and Bisquick Pancakes too!)
- Sprite – The Sprite acts as a leavening agent to make the dough rise. The carbonation reacts with the baking soda in the Bisquick, and poof! You’ve got these fluffy, little bites of heaven! (Check out my 7UP Biscuits too.)
- Sour cream – Sour cream gives the biscuits flavor and makes them soft and moist. I also use it in my Sour Cream Biscuits.
- Melted butter – To keep the biscuits from sticking to the pan and give them a buttery, golden brown bottom.
Variations
- Cheesy Biscuits – Add shredded cheddar or grated Parmesan to the Bisquick before adding the wet ingredients. My Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are perfect for this recipe!
- Herbed Biscuits – Add fresh or dried sage, rosemary, or thyme to infuse these Bisquick biscuits with some herbaceousness.
How to Make Bisquick Biscuits With Sprite
- Prepare: Preheat your oven to 450ºF and gather your ingredients.
- Combine: Stir the Bisquick, Sprite, and sour cream in a medium bowl until just combined.
- Knead: Sprinkle the countertop with a little Bisquick. Add the dough to the counter and knead a little to bring the dough together, then pat it to about 1/2 an inch thick. Add additional Bisquick as needed to form a very soft dough that is just holding together.
- Butter the skillet: Pour the melted butter into a cast iron skillet or an 8×8 baking dish.
- Cut the biscuits: Cut the biscuits with a biscuit cutter or the top of a small jar and place them in the pan.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Look for them to turn a nice golden color. The tops of the biscuits will brown and that means it’s time to pull them and put them on the cooling rack.
You can make Homemade Sausage Gravy to spoon on top of the biscuits or you can use the biscuits as a base for a Scrambled Egg Sandwich. Of course, you can’t go wrong with butter and jam (or my Strawberry Rhubarb Jam!) either.
There’s not enough Sprite in these biscuits to make them sweet, plus the sour cream balances any sweetness with its tangy flavor. If you’d like to make sweet biscuits, try my Blueberry Biscuits, which are also made with Bisquick!
If your biscuits are not fluffy, the likely culprit is over-mixing or over-handling the dough. Mix until until the Bisquick is moistened and knead just a few times before cutting. Another possible problem is how you cut the biscuits: press the biscuit cutter straight down, rather than turning it.
Homemade biscuits are a Southern tradition and this Bisquick biscuits recipe ranks right up there with my favorites! You’ll love how easy they are to make, with only 4 simple ingredients. For more breakfast ideas, check out this roundup of crowd-pleasing Breakfast Casseroles Recipes.

Notes
- Don’t overmix: This is the key to perfect fluffy biscuits. Mixing the dough too much will give you biscuits that are tough, without a light, airy texture.
- Double for a crowd: If you’d like to make a batch of 18 Sprite biscuits, double the ingredients and use a 9×13 baking dish.
- Freezing for later: I love keeping a batch of unbaked biscuits in the freezer! Freeze them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then place the frozen biscuits in an airtight container or freezer bag. Bake in a buttered pan, adding a few more minutes to the baking time.
My family loves this. Easy to make lite and fluffy
Can I use flour if I don’t have Bisquick?
Love this quick and easy recipe! Add a pinch of baking powder to make them extra fluffy. I use diet lemon lime with great success.
Have not made yet, just a question. Can Sprite Zero be used in this recipe?
I used Sprite Zero and it turned out fine. 😉
Could I use yogurt instead of sour cream?
Took a chance and made these outstanding biscuits. Easy. Flavorful and all I can say is WOW.
Thank you, Maelene! We’re so glad you enjoyed them!
Can I use mato instead of butter?
When measuring the bisquick, do you pack it down in the measuring cup and level it off, or do you whisk it and spoon it into the measuring cup? I’ve seen both in recipes, and the two different techniques make a huge difference.
We recommend weighing it with a scale or using the spoon and level method!
These biscuits were really delicious, but I did have to add a lot more Bisquick before they would come together. I’d say at least a 1/2 Cup or more. With 2 Cups of Bisquick they were very wet, and most of the dough was clinging to my fingers and spatula. I’ll make them again though, and just add more!
Thank you for the feedback, Betsy! We’re so glad you were able to make them work for you. Did you have to adjust the baking time at all?
I had to add a lot bisquick also . It stuck all over my fingers and then tasted too flour. It used to come out perfect for me years. The newer product isn’t as accurate
Haven’t tried yet but seems wonderful
We would love to know how it turns out if you do, Beverly!
I made the Bisquick Biscuits and baked them in my Ninja® Foodi® Digital Air Fry Oven using the bake function-450* for approx. 10 minutes.
Yummy– the best biscuits I have ever had.
Thank you, Marianne! We’re so glad you enjoyed them and will have to try them in the air fryer!
Phenomenal biscuit! Light and fluffy and super easy. Only change I made was to use some of the butter in the pan to brush the tops of the biscuits before putting in the oven. Came out great and is definitely a keeper recipe.
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I have made them only twice but they seem to get better every time! I like that they are so light and fluffy! I didn’t have Sprite or seven up so I used a strawberry flavored fizzy water and both sour cream and Greek yogurt since it took both to get 1/2 cup! Think I will put them in an air tight container and freeze! So thankful the strawberry flavor was not detectable!
We’re so glad they turned out well for you, Frieda!
