How to Make Beer Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the beer and buttermilk, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Spoon the dough into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  7. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter and jam!
