Makes: 6 mini drop biscuits (size as seen in image)
As purveyors of good times, seulfood and Fieldhouse Brewing both know that the best beer is the kind you can not just chug. but eat too ;)
ingredients
GROUP A: BISCUITS
1 cup + 2 tbsp AP flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 tbsp melted salted butter
3 oz beer (I used Fieldhouse Brewing’s Sour Wheat Gose)
2 tbsp heavy cream
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
GROUP B: CREAMY MUSHROOMS
1 tsp salted butter
1 medium shallot, minced finely
2 medium garlic cloves, minced finely
12 - 13 cremini button mushrooms, sliced
2 1/2 tbsp crème fraîche or heavy cream
4 tsp beer (I used Fieldhouse Brewing’s Sour Wheat Gose)
1 tbsp minced chives
2 tbsp minced parsley
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
1 scallion green, to garnish
method
Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 F. Add all the Group A ingredients to a large bowl and mix well with a large spoon or spatula till the mixture is flakey. Knead the dough together till it’s relatively smooth. Divide it into 6 equal parts. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place these dough balls on it. I created a little thumb imprint in the center of each one, to rest the creamy mushroom sauce on. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 - 15 minutes (depending on the efficiency of your oven), till the tops are golden-brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before eating.
Make the creamy mushroom topping: Heat the butter in a medium sized skillet and sauté the shallot till it’s light brown. Add the garlic and sauté again till browned. Add the mushrooms, crème fraîche, and beer, and sauté to ensure that the mushrooms are well coated with the cream. Add all the herbs and spices, and continue to sauté on medium-low heat for just a little over a minute till the mushrooms are browned and cooked. Take care to not let the mushrooms overcook and shrivel up.
Plate up: Add dollops of the creamy mushroom sauce over the warm biscuits, garnish with slivers of scallion greens, and enjoy with your favourite beer!
