3 Ingredient Biscuits
How many ingredients??
Welcome back to In Jamie’s Kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that holds a special place in my heart. These biscuits, originally dubbed “3-ingredient Sprite Biscuits,” have a bit of a backstory. While they actually contain four ingredients (oops, sorry butter!), the debate sparked by the name became a real controversy in the comments when I first shared the video. One commenter pointed out, “everybody knows butter doesn’t count as an ingredient in southern cooking.” So, let’s just call them “3-ingredient biscuits,” shall we?
Risk it for the Biscuit
I used to make these biscuits when my daughters were little, but they somehow slipped off my radar until recently when Haley brought them up. It was a sweet reminder of how these biscuits were a part of our family meals. I realized I had to share them with you all. However, I must warn you, they’re so delicious that overeating is a real risk!
Ingredients for 3 Ingredient Biscuits
- ½ stick of butter
- 2 cups Bisquick (and a little extra for your hands and work surface)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ½ cup of lemon-lime soda
Instructions
- Add butter to an 8×8 baking dish.
- Put the dish into a cold oven and preheat to 400 allowing the butter to melt while the oven preheats.
- Remove from the oven as soon as butter is melted.
- In a separate bowl combine Bisquick, yogurt, and soda.
- Stir until just combined.
- Do not over-stir.
- If the dough is too sticky, add some more Bisquick.
- Pat the dough into a square then cut like a tic-tac-toe to form 9 biscuits.
- Form the biscuits into circles then place in the butter.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.

These biscuits are incredibly versatile. They make a delightful addition to any dinner spread, but they’re equally perfect for breakfast or brunch. You can even get creative and stuff them with bacon, eggs, or other breakfast favorites. For a savory twist, try adding a teaspoon of garlic powder and half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

@injamieskitchen I used to make these a lot but then I totally forgot about them. My daughter asked why I never posted a video for them so here it is. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a baking dish in the oven while the oven preheats to 400°. Combine 2 cups Bisquick, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup Sprite. Stir until combined. Roll or Pat out the dough. Cut into circles or be like me and cut into squares and then make them into circles. It really doesn’t matter what shape you use, they will still taste good. Put the biscuits in the baking dish on top of the butter. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy them while they’re hot. Try adding a tsp of garlic and some shredded cheddar for a whole different flavor. #biscuitrecipe #homemadebiscuits #easybiscuits #spritebiscuits #3ingredientbiscuits

Your 3 ingredient biscuits sound wonderful! However they have 4 ingredients.
Too freaking funny. It is 4 ingredients!
It’s only 3 ingredients. The butter is NOT incorporated into the biscuits. The biscuits are laid on top of the butter for baking. By the way, I had the Greek Yogurt and Lemon Lime Soda (Best Choice) and these were wonderful. Going to have one or two in the morning with peanut butter, I’m thinking
can I make them this afternoon but not bake them til tomorrow morning
I haven’t tried that but I donn’t think that will work.
They have 3 ingredients, the forth is the butter, they are baked in
I like to watch her she is so funny! I had the recipe for the apple dumplings!!
the butter made for some great tasting biscuits.
thinking I’d try these with blueberry added.
My butter was probably salted as that is the only kind I buy!
Salted or unsalted butter?
Whatever you have will work
I made these a little bit ago and had roasted chicken breasts to make hot chicken gravy sandwiches. They were so so good and super easy. I didn’t have sprite so I used ginger ale. Super result!
@Kitty Heidlebaugh – I was going to ask about using ginger ale. Thanks!
They turned out great! We gobbled them up.
well maybe if I wouldn’t have double the recipe it would have worked. I used all the bisquick the 1st time. didn’t have any left to make it not so wet… tried flour big fail.. I ended up putting the blob in the oven… TBD how the taste is 😆
Will Sprite Zero work?
Yes!! I tried it last week and it worked perfectly.
Can you use bubbly water like La Croix instead of sugary soda
I haven’t tried that yet. Let us know if you give it a go.
You will need to add sugar if using sparkling water. Otherwise the biscuits will taste bland.
You can use Sprite Zero
I absolutely LOVE these!!!! So grateful I found this recipe…. These are out of the park, YUMMMMMY! Thank you for sharing! 🩵
So glad to hear you love them. Thanks for the feedback.
Can you add pureed sweet potatoes?
I made these and my family said to never make any other biscuits. I used soyr cream and tonic soda because I didn’t have any sprite. The dough was a little too wet so next time I’ll try cutting back on the soda. But I absolutely recommend making these. Best biscuits I ever ate.
Can you just put the dough in the pan and then cut it into 9 squares (vs cutting them on the board and shaping into rounds)?
I followed this recipe to the T-itos! It’s a cold, snowy night here in Utah. These were a perfect match with my homemade chicken noodle soup!
The cocktail helped pass the time until the fluffy angels were done.
Thanks so much!
My dough turned out very sticky. I kept adding more bisquick. It wasn’t as easy for me as it looked like for Jamie in the video. They still tasted really good, but I need to work on my technique.
Can these be made gluten free? Maybe with just gluten-free flour or Gf pancake mix
I have not tried that so I’m not sure.
