From: Aleta/Dallas 2/14 happy it's working!

Response to light, buttery, easy biscuit request (I can't find post)

These biscuits are so easy, and are so good

I eat them with no additional butter or jam.

Don't let the use of mix keep you away. I

make these for all houseguests to our place

in Scottsdale, and everyone want the recipe.

6 cups Bisquick or other good quality mix

2/3 cup sugar (1 cup if you like real sweet)

1 good quality beer at room temperature (not

flat)

3/4 stick butter or butter-flavored

shortening

Preheat oven to 375 or 400 degrees. Melt

butter and cover the bottom of a jelly-roll

pan (straight sided baking sheet) Mix dry

ingredients well in large bowl. Add beer as

needed to form a wet, sticky dough when in

Arizona, I use a whole beer). Mix as little

as possible. Turn out on floured surface,

pat to a 1/2" to 1" thickness and cut with

cookie cutter or a water glass. Place

slightly separated on cookie sheet. Bake

10-12 minutes, until just lightly brown.

Don't overcook so they won't dry out.

I discovered that if these are allowed to sit

out a little before baking, they really rise.
