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.
- 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.
- Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups.
- 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). Recipe adapted from Paula Deen.
