How to Make Sprite Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 450°F (230°C).

It’s important the oven is fully hot before baking so the biscuits rise beautifully.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a medium bowl, combine Bisquick, Sprite, and sour cream.

Stir just until the mixture comes together—don’t overwork it!

Step 3: Knead and Shape

Lightly flour your counter with Bisquick.

Turn the dough out and knead gently just until smooth.

Pat the dough out to about ½ inch thick.

Step 4: Cut the Biscuits

Add more Bisquick as needed to keep the dough from sticking.

Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut out biscuits.

Step 5: Butter the Pan

Pour melted butter into a cast iron skillet or an 8×8 baking dish.

Arrange the biscuits in the pan so they’re slightly touching.

Step 6: Bake to Golden

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the biscuits are cooked through.

What to Serve Sprite Biscuits With

Classic sausage gravy for a cozy breakfast

Fried chicken or BBQ ribs for a Southern dinner

Scrambled eggs and bacon for a brunch spread

Variations & Substitutions

Use 7-Up or another lemon-lime soda instead of Sprite

Add shredded cheddar for cheesy biscuits

Brush tops with garlic butter after baking for extra flavor

Storage & Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days

Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to revive the texture

Freeze unbaked biscuits on a tray, then store in a zip-top bag up to 1 month

Bake from frozen—just add 3–5 minutes to the baking time

FAQs

Can I make Sprite biscuits without sour cream?
Sour cream gives these biscuits their tender texture.

You can try plain Greek yogurt as a substitute.

Why do you use Sprite in biscuits?
The carbonation helps the biscuits rise, and the sweetness balances the tanginess of the sour cream.

Can I use diet soda?
Technically yes, but regular Sprite gives better texture and flavor due to the sugar content.

Do I need to chill the dough?
Nope! These biscuits are quick and don’t need chilling before baking.

Why are my biscuits dense?
Overmixing or adding too much flour can make them tough.

Mix gently and use a light touch when kneading.

Can I use a different baking mix than Bisquick?
Yes, but results may vary. Make sure it includes leavening agents like baking powder.

Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Use a larger pan or bake in batches.
