Pigs Beer Biscuits

Directions

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.
5. 5
   Knead the dough just enough to blend -- over mixing will make it tough.
6. 6
   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.
