Why you’ll love this buttery biscuit recipe!
These are hands-down the best biscuits that you’re ever going to make. And being from West Virginia, you can trust me: I know my biscuits!
Here’s what makes these Bisquick biscuits so darn good.
⭐️ 4 simple ingredients – starting with Bisquick cuts down on the measuring
⭐️ Moist, tender crumb – using sour cream instead of buttermilk makes these easy biscuits EXTRA moist
⭐️ Eat them all day long – Have Homemade Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast, slice them for a sandwich for lunch, and serve them alongside Creamy Crockpot Chicken for dinner.
⭐️ Easy to make – you don’t even need to cut in the butter!
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.

Instructions

- Add additional Bisquick as needed to form a very soft dough that is just holding together.
- Pour the melted butter into a cast iron skillet or an 8×8 baking dish.

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.
Absolutely love these!
These biscuits are great! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Has anyone tried this either gluten free Bisquick?
Followed recipe exactly and these just fell apart and needed salt for sure!
Could I Sprite Zero
This was super easy and super delicious! I added a handful of shredded cheese and they turned out great. I can’t stop eating them. Thanks for the recipe.
Made these tonight and they was the best biscuits
I don’t have sprite. Can I use ginger ale?
Delicous
I don’t use baking mixes. Can i substitute with self rising flour?
Here’s a good substitute for Bisquick. https://www.allthingsmamma.com/homemade-bisquick-mix/
These are so easy to make. And they’re delicious. My family loves them and requests them often. As a matter of fact, I’m making these tonight for dinner with beef stew. Yum
Yay! Happy to hear your family enjoys them 🙂
Look beautiful and taste amazing… I do not know how to bake but these made me look like a pro..
I never write a review, but these were unbelievably good! I was looking for something quick to make and came across these. So simple, yet so fluffy and full of flavor. These will b my “go to” biscuits from now on.
That’s awesome! So glad you enjoyed them!
Can you substitute the 7up for something else?
Haven’t tried anything else, but Sprite should work the same!
Can you use this for chicken and dumplings?
I don’t see why not!
This looks awesome! Any chance I can use tonic water or club soda instead of sprite?
I’m sure Sprite would work just the same!
These are great – my go to biscuit recipe from now on! Thx for sharing!💕
I used light sour cream, popcorn butter spray and Sprite Zero and they were delicious and only 142 cals each!
That sounds amazing!
