Ingredients

• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 cup tomato-vegetable juice cocktail
• 0.5 cup shortening
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Stir the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar together in a bowl, and cut in the shortening with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like crumbs. Mix in the vegetable juice cocktail just until moist, and turn out onto a well-floured work surface. Gently knead several times just until dough holds together, roll out to 1/2-inch thick, and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until risen and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
