Beer Biscuits

Makes 14 biscuits

2 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup light beer (I used bud light)

Preheat oven to 450
Sift together flour, baking powder & salt. Cut on shortening and mix until it reaches a crumbly, cornmeal like consistency.
Add beer, mix well and knead gently.
On a well floured surface, roll out to about 1/4 thick, cut with biscuit cutter.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.

For a more golden biscuit add an egg wash before baking.
