I saw this recipe a few years ago and took a picture of it so I would remember to try it. Luckily I was downloading some pictures and came across it. I added a few things and made some changes but here it is.

Ingredients

12 ounce bottle of your favorite beer (my husbands favorite is Landshark so that’s what I used)
3 and 1/2 cups of AP Flour
3 Tb honey
1 Tb of baking powder
1 and 1/2 tsp of kosher or flaky salt
1 Tb chives
1 egg beaten for egg wash

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix well or sift it together works nicely.

Place on a Pam sprayed or misto sprayed baking sheet. And cut with a very sharp knife an “x”.
