These are American drop biscuits (a little like drop scones) rather than being American cookies or British biscuits.
Ingredients:
420g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
360ml beer (your choice, but the flavour of the beer will be the basis for the flavour of the biscuits)
40g brown sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp freshly-grated lemon zest
Method:
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Pour in the beer and stir just enough to moisten the flour mix then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Drop the batter by the heaped tablespoon onto a greased baking tray then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve or store in an air-tight tin until needed.
