Haven’t tried it, but the recipe is off. If using soda, some sort of acid needs to be included.

“Modern” cooks might prefer Crisco to lard, but thatalso means preferring trans fats to the healthier cis fats. In New Mexico, they make biscochitos with lard, partly for its flavor and mostly for its role of shortening. “Modern” is not necessarily a recommendation.
