Beer Biscuits (Scratch)

Submitted by gailanng

"If you cut the biscuits with a pizza cutter, there’s no re-rolling of scraps with the possibility of some of the biscuits coming out a little tough.  If you do use a biscuit cutter, always use a sharp one and push straight down without twisting the cutter or your biscuits won’t rise as high.  Serving Suggestion:  fill with scrambled or fried eggs and ham."
