1 lb smoked brisket, shredded
1 cup beer cheese dip (or cheddar cheese sauce with a splash of beer)
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Coarse salt (for topping)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten dough portions into small circles.
Place a spoonful of beer cheese and shredded brisket in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough around the filling and pinch to seal tightly, forming a ball.
Bring water to a boil in a pot and add baking soda.
Briefly boil each dough ball for about 20–30 seconds, then remove and place on the baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
