3-Ingredient Bisquick Biscuits Recipe

So, I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes with you today that you are gonna love!

YOU MAY BE THINKING ‘WAIT-WAIT-WAIT…SPRITE?!’
You read that right! Here’s why: The Sprite acts as a leavening agent, that makes your biscuit dough rise. The carbonation bubbles from the Sprite react with the baking soda in the Bisquick, and poof! You’ve got these fluffy, little bites of heaven! (Check out my 7UP Biscuits too!)

Did you just read that I add SPRITE to my biscuits?! YEP. Bisquick, sour cream, and Sprite are all you need to make these little bites of heaven!
‘SOUR CREAM YOU SAY?’
Yup! It has a secret superpower: Sour Cream adds moisture, creaminess and controls browning when your dough is baking in the oven. It’s a great ingredient to use in biscuits or cakes. I prefer it! In fact, it’s one of my 10 Tricks To Make A Box Cake Mix Taste Homemade !

Bisquick Biscuits Ingredients
- Bisquick – You can’t go wrong with making these 3 ingredient biscuits with this main ingredient (you can also make your own Bisquick with my easy recipe!)
- Sprite – Yes, you read that right. Sprite will make these homemade biscuits light and fluffy.
- Sour Cream – Sour cream gives the biscuits flavor plus adds in fat.
How to Make 3-Ingredient Biscuits
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Add the ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together Bisquick, Sprite, and sour cream until just combined.
3. Knead the dough
Sprinkle the countertop with a little Bisquick. Add the dough to the counter and knead a little using your hands to the dough and pat the dough out to about 1/2 an inch thick.
Add additional Bisquick as needed to form a very soft dough that is just holding together.
4. Add to a skillet
Pour the melted butter into a cast iron skillet or an 8×8 baking dish.
5. Cut the biscuits
Cut the biscuits out with a biscuit cutter or the top of a small jar and place them in the pan of butter.
6. Bake
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
TIPS
If your dough seems too sticky as you’re kneading, keep sprinkling with flour until it works out to the right consistency!
And that’s it. They really are that simple!
Variations
You can use this recipe as your base and add all kinds of mix-ins to make your biscuit sweet or savory. Add in herbs, cheese, or other seasonings to make these biscuits totally unique! This biscuit recipe can also be used to make Butterswim Biscuits.
FAQS
How do you know when the biscuits are done baking?
you’re going to be looking for them to turn a nice golden color. The top of the biscuits will brown and that means it’s time to pull them and put them on the cooling rack.
What side dishes go well with easy biscuits?
You can make sausage gravy as a quick side, or some air fryer bacon as well. Add a bit of melted butter to the biscuit tops and enjoy!
You can make these light and fluffy Bisquick biscuits for any time of the day – breakfast, lunch, dinner – they’re so easy to make you can just whip up a batch in record time!

Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Sandwich
Made these to accompany some beef stew on Sunday afternoon. What a GREAT recipe. I used Krusteaz Pancake Mix, as I had enough left from a 2wk visit from our daughter, husband & 4 children. We don’t often eat pancakes or waffles, since we both have diabetes, but the kids love both. Wasn’t sure what to make with the remaining mix, so your biscuit recipe was a good solution. We found them a bit sweet, but they were so light & fluffy! I’m going to try substitution of club soda, or seltzer water to solve the over sweet flavor, may add a pinch of salt, as we found them a bit flat in flavor. Could be that we only use unsalted butter. I did make them as Butter Swim style which made added butter, honey or jam. Ate the leftover biscuits eggs & sausage gravy for lunch today, 1 word…
YUM! Thanks so much from a husband w/ a Texas lineage & me w/ Oklahoma background. So trust me, we know good biscuits & these are in our top 3! You can never beat southern grandmas’ scratch biscuits! 😋
Thank you so much, Sue! We’re so glad you enjoyed the recipe and truly appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback! 😊
These are amazing.
Thank you, Daphne! What’s your favorite way to serve them?
My old Kentucky mother would make us her famous Cat head biscuits, these were the as close to being as good as hers. I’ve made them 3 time’s and we love them. Thanks for sharing.
We’re so glad you found them and are enjoying the recipe!
Did you add how much ingredients to use?
How much bisquik,sprite,sour cream ?
Hi Tammy! The ingredient measurements and instructions are always listed in the recipe card at the bottom of the posts. 😊
Just a curious question: Why is it called 3 ingredient bread when there’s actually 4 ingredients.
That’s a great question! The original recipe has been updated to make it even better with 4 ingredients.
Very good. Nice and tender and very light. I don’t have to buy another can of biscuits ever! Thank you!
We’re so happy to hear this! Thank you for trying it out! 😊
Can I freeze them if I’m taking to someone for them to cook at their leisure?
Yes, once cooled, they can be transferred to an airtight container and frozen for up to 1 month!
We made these today at our Memory Care. Our residents and families LOVED THEM!!! They were so easy i divided the recipe and put it into sandwich baggies so the residents could knead their own biscuits it was great to see their smiles and listen to them talk about when they used to make biscuits at home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
That’s so sweet of you, Melissa! Thank you so much for sharing our recipe and taking the time to leave such a lovely review!
Very wet sticky dough
Had to add at least another cup if Bisquick and still VERY soft dough
In the oven now. Smell good, but will see!
We’d love to know how they turned out for you!
Way way way too many pop-ups on this sight – thanks, but no thanks
Thank you for the feedback, Jonn. The pop-ups are how we are able to continue to provide free recipes. Unfortunately, we do not have control over where or how the pop-ups appear. We hope you understand and continue to make our recipes!
Can I make these the day before?
We recommend baking them completely and keeping them stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days!
I made it and love how soft inside with crust outside. Make sure melted butter in glass dish. It won’t stick to bottom of dish and flavors biscuits. Does not have sour cream taste.
Thank you for the feedback, Kathy! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
These sound amazing. I have a back injury and I can’t stand too long. The recipe sounds perfect and easy to do. We love biscuits and sausage gravy anytime. One favorite meal is having breakfast for supper. Thanks for sharing this recipe. **
We hope you enjoy it and that you recover soon!
Will they turn out if baking them on a cookie sheet, if so for how long to bake?
Hi CJ! You can bake them on a cookie sheet as long as you arrange them closely so they’re all touching.
Is the butter salted or non- salted?
Either would work for this recipe, depending on your preference!
This was so easy to make and my family loved them.
We’re so glad! Thank you for trying them out and taking the time to leave feedback, Brandy.
The look delicious ND easy to make with 7 up but here in South Africa they is on more 7 up, Sprite is okay watching from South Africa
Can you use 7-up
I want to make biscuits and gravy
That should work just fine, Tiennia!
These are really good but mine are crumbly any suggestions on how to fix?
Use the extra Bisquick sparingly when kneading, avoid overworking the dough, and measure carefully – with a food scale, if possible!
Will this work with gluten free Bisquick?
We haven’t tested it, but it should work!
I’m trying it tonight!
Hmm, I do t think it will. I tried to make sausage balls with the GF mix. It 100% did not work! I’d search for a recipe that uses the gluten free mix. 😬
