These are just begging to be made on a riverbank, in a dutch oven......no questions about cleanliness of the water and everybody has Bisquick. Piper

I started making beer pancakes and beer biscuits in about '66 when we were in a dry camp, but fortunately had a lot of beer. For about 5 years, much to their momma's chagrin, the kids all wanted beer biscuits for their birthday cakes.

I've never added sugar, but usually add a pinch or two of salt when I mix Bisquick and beer. Also add eggs as the box suggests, but not required.

The biscuits can be spiced up with added minced onion, shredded cheese, minced garlic, caraway seeds, dill, or some admixture of spices.

Sounds like a good easy recipe Jack

I save lots of recipes. Any with more than a few steps get wadded up and thrown away. KISS.

OK........here's the danger of posting recipes. I found that beer biscuit recipe on a good food site.....and trusted it.

so, tonight I gave it a try. Believe me, there was nothing to roll out, so I made drop biscuits....and they are baking, and spreading, as I type. Sure, I could have added more mix, but wanted to try it as - written before modification.

So, if you try these, have more mix on hand. they smell great and may turn out...i'll keep you posted.

OK....out of the oven. they spread out a bit, but eventually browned up, like 20 minutes at 375. The texture and taste are bot very good.......I'll make them a little drier next time.

hmmm.... sounds like it might make a decent pizza crust.

 

[islandpiper]

Matt, without any kneading (and biscuits never are kneaded), it won't develop any gluten.......and is crumbly. piper

 

[JEM]

yea I was thinking of the beer flat bread recipe.

 

[Kayak Jack]

If I used it for pizza crust, I might put it into the oven a few minutes, remove it, add toppings, and then bake the whole assembled mess.

i had to go in to work today, i don't usually work sundays, but this was a violin emergency. So, I popped out of bed way too early on a sunday, and sliced one of those big floppy biscuits horizontally , stuck it in the toaster oven till it was good and hot and found another place to eat BUTTER. Some good Iron County Maple Syrup on top and man, that was some Jarvis Good Eatin'.

They won't go to waste, even if they weren't exactly perfect. Heck, neither Jack or I are perfect and still our families love us. Matter of fact, I just made a list of everyone on the Forum who seems to be perfect. Here it is:
1.................
2.................
