Ingredients

  • 4 cups Bisquick (or other similar all-purpose baking mix)
  • 1 (12 ounce) can beer, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup honey (reduce to 1-2 tablespoons for a less-sweet flavor)
  • 3 tablespoons melted salted butter, divided
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick baking spray or line with paper liners.
    Greased muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the Bisquick, beer, honey, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the cheese.

  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a biscuit comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Serve warm.

Notes

    • Use a beer that you enjoy. We prefer a lager, but light beer is fine, non-alcoholic beer is fine, and a darker, more robust beer works well if you like more prominently flavored biscuits.
    • Do not over-mix the dough. Stir until just combined — a few lumps are fine. Over-mixing will result in dry, dense, tough biscuits.
    • Make sure that your Bisquick is fresh. If the leavening agents in the baking mix are no longer effective, your biscuits will not rise.
    • Brushing melted butter on top of the biscuits adds rich flavor. We like the salty contrast of salted butter, but unsalted butter will also work (whichever you prefer).
