Beer Biscuits

Texas Pride Beer Biscuits

  • 4 cups Bisquick
  • 1 can cheap beer (like Texas Pride)
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • flour for rolling out biscuits

Pre-heat oven to 450°F.

Mix Bisquik and sugar together and then add beer.  Stir until the dough is lumpy and sticky, and there isn’t any dry mix left on the sides or bottom of the bowl.

Spread flour out on a flat surface and all around your rolling pin.  If you don’t have a rolling pin, you can use a cylindrical drinking glass (plastic or metal to prevent breakage when you press on it to roll out the dough).

Dump the sticky beer biscuit dough onto a big mound on top of the floured surface.  Sprinkle more flour over the dough just to keep it from sticking to the rolling pin.  Roll out to about 1/2-inch thick.  Dip your biscuit or round cookie cutter or the top of a drinking glass in extra flour and then cut out your biscuits.  Arrange on an ungreased baking pan or in an ungreased cake pan with sides of biscuits close together or touching slightly.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Makes about a dozen biscuits.

NOTE: the cheaper the beer, the better the biscuits.  For some reason, the more expensive beers don’t make the biscuits rise as well.
