The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming
out with ONLY a loaf of bread are three billion to one

Beer Soda Biscuits

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoon Crisco
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 can beer
1 tablespoon Crisco (for frying pan)

Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Blend in the
Crisco until the mixture is coarse and grainy. Using a fork,
stir in the buttermilk and beer. Do not over mix. Put out on a floured
board or marble pastry board and knead just a few times. Pat out
the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or
use the open end of a kitchen cup. (Flour the cutter.)
Do not handle the dough too much or it will get tough.

Use a heavy black iron frying pan. Place the
1 tablespoon of Crisco in the frying pan and put the frying pan in
the oven for about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and
place the biscuits in the pan. Turn each once in the oil and bake
the biscuits at 500 degrees for 10 minutes or until light brown
