Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Grease 12 muffin cups generously with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk baking mix and beer.
  4. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined; the batter should be lumpy and barely mixed. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite dip.
