Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 400.

In a processor add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Pulse to combine. Add the cold butter, process until well combined. Add to a large bowl.

Add the sour cream, cheese, green onions and beer. Mix with a fork until just combined.

Add to a well-floured flat surface, pat into a rectangle. Using a cold rolling pin (preferably marble) gently roll into a large rectangle, about 3/4 inch in thickness, using as few strokes as possible.

Fold the dough into thirds as you would a letter about to go into an envelope. Roll lightly once in each direction to about 1 inch thickness, fold in thirds again. Gently roll into about 1 1/2 inch thickness (this will give you the flaky layers).

Using a biscuit cutter cut out 12 biscuits. Place in a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Brush biscuits with melted butter, sprinkle salt.

Bake at 400 for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
