Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- â…› teaspoon baking soda
- â…› teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 cup tomato-vegetable juice cocktail
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet to ensure the biscuits don’t stick during baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, baking soda, salt, and white sugar. Stir them together evenly.
- Cut in shortening: Using a pastry cutter, cut the ½ cup of shortening into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring the shortening is well distributed for a flaky texture.
- Add tomato juice: Pour in the 1 cup of tomato-vegetable juice cocktail and mix until the dough is moist and just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Knead dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it several times until it holds together in a coherent ball.
- Roll out dough: Roll the dough out to about ½-inch thickness to prepare for cutting the biscuits.
- Cut biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter, cut rounds from the dough and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until the biscuits have risen and are lightly browned on top.
Notes
- Use self-rising flour for best results as it already contains leavening agents.
- If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, use the rim of a glass or a round cookie cutter.
- Handle the dough gently to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
- Serve warm with butter or your favorite savory spread.
