Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings Homemade Bisquick: 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup cornstarch 3 tablespoons baking powder 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 tablespoon salt 1 cup chilled vegetable shortening or unsalted butter Rosemary Beer Bread: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 3 cups Homemade Bisquick 3 tablespoons white sugar 2 tablespoons dried rosemary 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons thyme 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 can light beer (such as Miller Lite®) 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary Directions For Homemade Bisquick: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt. It’s important to give this mixture a very thorough whisking to aerate the ingredients and make sure they are evenly distributed. Using a food processor, pastry blender, or your fingertips, cut the chilled shortening and/or butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles sand. Recipe Tip: Store the mixture in airtight, lidded containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. And use in the place of Bisquick in any of your favorite recipes that call for all-purpose baking mix. For Rosemary Beer Bread: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9x5 loaf pan with 1 tablespoon butter. Set aside. Stir together 3 cups Homemade Bisquick, sugar, dried rosemary, garlic powder, thyme, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Add beer and stir until smooth Pour beer mixture into loaf pan. Bake until golden-brown, about 50 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons (melted) butter. Transfer to wire rack and garnish with fresh rosemary. Let cool another 15 minutes before slicing.
