Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.75 cups beer (any light or medium-bodied beer)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the chilled, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour the beer into the mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until just combined; the dough will be slightly sticky, but avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps of dough, re-roll, and cut again until all the dough is used.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter for extra flavor and a soft, glossy finish.
Serve warm with your favorite spread or as a side to any meal. Enjoy!
