Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the shredded brisket with beer cheese dip until well combined.
On a floured surface, roll out each biscuit into a circle.
Spoon a tablespoon of brisket mixture into the center of each biscuit.
Wrap the dough around the filling and pinch the seams to seal. Roll gently to form a ball.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in warm water. Stir well.
Dip each filled dough ball into the baking soda solution briefly (about 10 seconds).
Place each on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Brush with melted butter right after they come out of the oven.
