couldn't find my "original" recipe, but this sounds very similar and simple.   We really enjoyed them.

from:  http://noshtalgia.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-have-always-loved-using-beer-batter.html

The yeast and hops in the beer cause these biscuits to be so tender and fluffy that they just melt in your mouth. I was amazed at the results not to mention the flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper.


BEER BISCUITS

4 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
8 tsp. baking powder
2/3 cup shortening
12 oz. can beer, room temperature (any)

Sift flour, salt and baking powder; cut in shortening. Add beer and knead 10 times; roll out 1/2 inch thick. Use 2 inch cutter and bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.

Don't know why not.   Might give a slightly darker biscuit or a little more taste!

Skit..beer biscuits sounds good. Wonder...if it would work for beer dumplings too?

I'd be willing to give it a try!   Thanks for the suggestion/idea.   They could be flufflier than mine usually are, but extra tasty.

This looks like a good Easter Eve tradition! Yummy too.
