Guinness Cheddar Biscuits

I mean really? Bread, beer and cheese. REALLY????

Yes. And it is all combined in a squishy biscuit that will call out to you from its warm little bread basket “eat me!” “yes, YOU. EAT ME!!!”

Guinness Cheddar Biscuits

Oh, and the ease with which you can make these is astounding. Honestly, when you develop recipes that involve baking, a lot of it is really a science experiment, so I wasn’t sure how these biscuits would bake up, (you know, with all that beer and no dry yeast?) And I wound up completely enchanted. Like totally amazing.

Guinness Cheddar Biscuits

The texture was incredible, and now I have made them 3 times since. They literally take 15 minutes and people will just freak out. I served them with a Guinness, Chicken and vegetable Soup (which I will post tomorrow) But I suspect that these will be a standard recipe for a while in our house, served with any kind of soup and lots of other things as well.

Chicken Guinness Vegetable Soup

I am planning to make soup for little Coco tomorrow as she has her surgery (say a little prayer!!) in the morning (For food, she has requested Mashed Potato Soup– her “favorite”) and a big batch of these for the rest of our family to eat while we watch a new episode of “Rescue my Renovation.” Here is a “sneak preview” Please tune in, it is one of my favorite episodes!

Guinness Cheddar Biscuits

(By the way- I know the pictures show 6 biscuits, but they wound up HUGE! I would definitely cut them into 8)

To make these Guinness Cheddar Biscuits, this is what you do:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, and prepare a sheet pan with a silpat or a sheet of parchment paper.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the cheddar cheese and pulse together. Cut in the butter until you have a coarse crumb.

Add the beer and pulse until you have a uniform dough.
