Beer Thyme Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, wheat germ, salt, lemon zest and thyme in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it is in pea-size pieces. Gently stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until just moistened. The dough will be loose.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3 to 5 times, just until it comes together. (Don't overknead or the biscuits will be tough.) Roll out to 1/2 inch thick, then cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch-round cutter. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll the scraps and cut out more biscuits. Brush the tops with water and sprinkle lightly with salt and thyme.
• Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients with a whisk until just combined. Using 2 spoons divide dough into 4 even mounds and put on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
• In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry knife or fork until the mixture is well blended. Use in recipes that call for Bisquick or all-purpose mix.
• Yield: 7 cups

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry mixer until mixture is consistency of crumbs. Add a quarter cup of the beer, stirring gently to combine, and then add remaining beer and mix gently to make soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix or biscuits will be tough. Pat dough out on a floured work surface to a thickness of 1/2 - to 3/4-inches and cut into biscuits. Place on baking pan and bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, thyme, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a fork, pastry blender, or your fingers, incorporate butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Mix in buttermilk until a sticky dough forms; you may need to add up to 1 tablespoon more buttermilk.
• Drop 8 mounds (each a scant 1/3 cup) onto a nonstick baking sheet; lightly pat tops to flatten slightly.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare baking sheet with a light coating of cooking spray.
• Sift together the flours, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in the thyme. Cut in the butter, then take up the flour and roll briskly between the palms of your hands so the mixture has the consistency of coarse cornmeal. This step can also be done in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, using the pulse action.
• Stir the milk and yogurt (or buttermilk) into the mixture. Lightly flour your hands. Using your hands, bring the dough together until it forms a lump. Use care in not over keading the dough (as you would with bread) as that will result in hockey pucks not biscuits. It will be slightly sticky, that's okay. Again, the less you work the dough, the lighter your biscuits will be.
• Roll out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch and cut into squares, triangles, or rounds. For bite-size biscuits, cut into squares, then cut the squares diag onally into small triangles.
• Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until they're just lightly browned. Caution, the smaller your biscuits, the shorter the baking time.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until it is the size of peas. Make a well in the center of the mixture and measure the milk, cheese and thyme into the bowl. Gently mix until a soft dough forms.
• Roll or pat out on a floured surface to 3/4 inch thick. Cut into circles and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the biscuits are golden brown.
