I added a whole cup of "diced" cheddar and added about 3/4 cup of beer. Made into to drop style biscuits and cooked at 400 instead of 450. 450 Seemed too high to me. Also added some flavor of dill, garlic and chive. Super easy to make but glad I added the spices or these would have been tasteless. Cutting in some butter might help, since they were dry.

Boring and not very tasty. I used bisquick as other reviewers suggested, but all you could taste was the bisquick even though I added more cheese than was recommended. I won't make this again.

Wow - so easy and so good! I'd been eyeing up this little recipe for a while now and am so glad I got around to trying it! Who knew so few ingredients could produce such a tasty little scone! I had exactly 2 cups left of some Bisquick I wanted to get rid of and I have to admit there's NEVER a shortage of beer around here so with just the third ingredient up for grabs I opted to give these an Italian flair. I used 1/2 cup of shredded Romano cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, 1 tsp. of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. each of oregano and basil, plus 1/4 tsp. of salt. I baked it in a 9 inch round cake pan and sprinkled the top with a bit more shredded romano cheese. It baked up nice and golden brown. After it cooled I cut it into triangles. It went great with "Rachel's Tomato Basil" Soup from this site.

Yummy! Hubby loved them, too. I don't use store bought baking mixes, but my own personal biscuit recipe using the beer instead of milk worked great! Time to try out on family and friend :)

use light beer (your fav brand) because dark/heavy beers give it a sort of sour dough or slight rye bread taste

These were ok. Taste like regular biscuits to me. I really thought I was going to have a nice cheese flavor. Needs more cheese. I even tried it with mozzarella and basil.

I chose this recipe as I had a box of Bisquik in the pantry that had never been used and its fast approaching its use by date!! This worked well with Pasta for dinner this evening. Made a few changes I added Garlic and Italian seasoning to the dough along with 1 cup of mature sharp English Cheddar. Cooked in the oven for 10 minutes than topped with another 1/2 cup of cheese and more Italian seasoning. I used Samual Adams Boston Ale for the beer. Great quick recipe, when you don't have enough time to bake bread!

Excellent...simple to make. I also added chopped green chilies (a couple of teaspoons) along with one cup of shredded cheddar. Used Miller 64 beer and they were very tasty. Will add salt or try the Bay Seasoning as others suggested. Even my 8 yr old daughter loved them!

Good. A little dry, but that's to be expected with any dough that calls for beer and biscuit mix--at least in my experience. I'm planning on serving with soup, though, and I think the triangles will great with that. By themselves they aren't quite moist enough. I think they need a bit more flavor--salt and pepper, some more cheese. I added some old bay seasoning to the batter and could've added more. I pressed into cake pans and cut into 8 slices before baking with my pizza cutter, then I put pats on margarine on just a few more minutes before the timer rang, and it worked well. Thanks for the recipe!
