The malty quality of Redd's Apple Ale goes great with biscuits, and the apple sweetness pairs perfectly with honey butter.
You can’t have brunch without biscuits, so impress your friends with this tasty twist. The malty quality of Redd's Apple Ale complements the biscuits, while the flavor of fresh- cut apples brings a fruity note to the honey and makes the biscuits taste like there are apples baked into them.
INGREDIENTS
Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup buttermilk
Salted Honey Butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon sea salt
PREPARATION
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
STEP 2
In a food processor or a large bowl with a pastry cutter, blend flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Add butter and pulse or work the butter in with the pastry cutter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add buttermilk and pulse or blend until the batter comes together and becomes a sticky dough.
STEP 3
Scoop ¼ cup mounds of the dough, spaced 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the biscuits are golden. Transfer to a cooling rack.
STEP 4
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, honey and salt. Once melted, remove from heat and brush the biscuits with the honey butter. Serve.
Notes: Biscuits can be made a day in advance without glazing. When ready to serve, warm the biscuits in a 350°F oven until warm, then glaze with the honey butter.
