ingredients

4 cups Bisquick baking mix
2 tablespoons sugar
1 can (12 ounce size) beer, at room temperature

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan.

Combine the Bisquick and sugar and mix well. Slowly stir in the warm beer until the baking mix is moistened. Do not over mix the batter.

Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling them half full.

Place the biscuits in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until done.

Remove the Bisquick beer biscuits from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes in the muffin pan before removing them.

Serve immediately or let cool completely on a wire rack and then store the biscuits in an airtight container.

recipe tips


Use room temperature beer to allow for proper rising of the biscuits.

Avoid over-mixing the batter to prevent tough biscuits.

Try different beer flavors for different biscuit variations.

Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before serving for extra flavor.

For a sweeter version, add a bit more sugar to the batter.

tools needed


Measuring Cups and Spoons: For measuring the Bisquick and sugar.

Mixing Bowl: For combining the Bisquick, sugar, and beer to create the batter for the biscuits.

Muffin Pan: To bake the Bisquick beer biscuits in. Make sure to grease the pan before pouring the batter to prevent sticking.

Wire Rack: Use the wire rack to cool the biscuits after baking. This helps prevent them from becoming soggy on the bottom.

Airtight Container: Once the biscuits have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

what goes with it?


Bacon Jam: these sweet and savory biscuits will pair perfectly with the rich, smoky flavors of bacon jam. The sweetness of the jam will balance out the slight bitterness of the beer in the biscuits.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken: These biscuits would be the perfect sidekick to some crispy, juicy fried chicken. The slight sweetness from the sugar in the biscuits will balance out the savory flavors of the chicken.

Sausage Gravy: Slather these biscuits with creamy, peppery sausage gravy for a classic Southern comfort food experience.

Honey Butter: Spread some decadent honey butter on these biscuits for a sweet and rich treat.

BBQ Pulled Pork: Use these biscuits as buns for some smoky, tangy BBQ pulled pork. The slightly sweet and fluffy biscuits will add a unique twist to the traditional pulled pork sandwich.
