Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)
- 3 cups biscuit baking mix i.e. Bisquick or similar plus additional for dusting
- 1/2 cup 7UP® room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 Tbsp butter softened
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:
1 ) Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast iron skillet or similar with 1 tsp of softened butter. Set aside. In a medium size mixing bowl mix together the biscuit mix, 7UP® and sour cream until it forms a soft dough.
2 ) Flour a non-stick surface with additional baking mix. Turn dough out onto surface and turn until coated with baking mix and not sticky. Add more in small amounts as needed. Roll or press dough into a 12 x 14-inch rectangle. Spread remaining softened butter evenly over dough from end to end.
3 ) In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over butter. Begin to roll from the longest edge jellyroll-style ending seam side down. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 equal pieces. Arrange in skillet. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden.
4 ) Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl using an electric mixer cream together the cream cheese with 2 Tbsp butter. Lower the speed of the mixer and gradually add the powdered sugar. Add milk 1 Tbsp at a time just until spreading consistency. Spread on warm rolls after baking.

Pro Tips for the Best 7UP Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls
- Use Cold Butter for Flaky Texture – Cold butter creates layers, making the dough extra tender.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough – Mix just until combined to keep the rolls light and soft.
- Roll the Dough Evenly – This helps the cinnamon-sugar filling spread evenly in each bite.
- Use Plenty of Butter & Brown Sugar – The more butter and cinnamon, the gooier and richer the rolls will be.
- Let Them Rest Before Baking – Allowing the dough to sit for 5-10 minutes makes rolling and cutting easier.
- Top with a Simple Glaze – A drizzle of vanilla icing or cream cheese frosting takes these rolls to the next level!
