Easy “Beer” Biscuits

Yep, I said it, “Beer Biscuits!” I found this recipe in a really, really old flyer for Bisquick (think 1970′s). Anyway, since I recently figured out how to make Bisquick I thought I would give this a try. It gives the biscuits a nice yeasty flavor with very little effort. The result was a nice dinner biscuit that was super easy to make.

Hubbyman really liked these biscuits…I think he liked the fact that I “forced” him to finish the half beer that I used.

Easy Beer Biscuits

2 cups Homemade Biscuit Mix
1 tbl sugar
6 oz (~1/2 bottle) beer (we used an Amber Ale, but use whatever you have on hand)

Preheat oven to 400F.  Spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray and put in oven while it’s preheating.   Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and beat for about 30 seconds until well combined.

Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full.  Bake about 15 minutes or until golden.  Serve warm with butter.

Note:  You can easily double this recipe to use the whole bottle/can of beer  OR you could just drink the rest of the beer.

    • AshleyRae….I can’t stand beer, but these were really good. The beer just gives it a nice yeast flavor without all the work! I hope you’ll give them a try.

  9. yummy yummy! making these tonight with some beerbatter fish :)

  10. Thanks again for linking your delicious recipe up at Muffin Monday!

  11. We only purchase alcohol maybe a couple of times a year, and we rarely finish a six pack or whatever we buy, so we often have an extra beer or two sitting in the fridge for a couple of months before it gets finished off. I’ll have to keep this recipe in mind for using it up :)

  12. Can you taste the alcohol in it?

    • Skye, you can’t taste the beer. It just has a yeast flavor, like you used yeast to make dinner biscuits. It’s really cool! I don’t like beer and I really liked these!

  14. I love easy recipes. We just never have beer in the house, which is why beer bread mixes went unmade. I wonder if you could sub a can of soda (which is what the Pampered Chef consultant told me to do with the beer bread mix.)
