Tender, fluffy biscuits made with just Bisquick, beer, and sugar. The carbonation in the beer creates an airy texture with a mild tang. Ready in about 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together, and either drop or roll out and place onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown
Recipe Tips
Do not overmix the dough. Stirring for too long develops gluten in the Bisquick flour, making the biscuits tough and dense rather than tender. Stir only until the dry ingredients are just absorbed.
If the dough seems too wet to handle for cut biscuits, add a tablespoon of Bisquick at a time until it is workable. Humidity and the specific beer you use can slightly affect the dough's hydration.
The butter brush at the end is optional but worthwhile. Apply it immediately when the biscuits are hot so it absorbs into the surface rather than sitting on top.
For a crowd, keep finished biscuits warm in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven loosely covered with foil while you bake subsequent batches.
