Pigs Beer Biscuits

1. 1

   Combine flour sugar and salt in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Add the shortening or lard and cut into dry ingredients with a fork or your hands.

3. 3

   Flat beer -- beer that has lost it's fizz -- works best!

4. 4

   Otherwise just let the beer get to room temperature; add 1/2 to 3/4 cup to mix.

   Knead the dough just enough to blend -- over mixing will make it tough.

   Flour a flat surface and spread the dough to a one inch thickness.

7. 7

   Cut your biscuits out.

8. 8

   Bake at 425F for about 10 minutes or until brown.
