Old Fashion Biscuits
2 cups All-Purpose flour 2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 Tsp. salt
2/2 cup lard
3/3 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450 F. Put 2 Tbsp. lard in a skillet and get it hot; grease the sides. Stir together
the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make
a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk in all at once. Stir just until dough clings together.
Knead gently on a lightly floured surface for 10-12 strokes. Roll or pat to 1/2-1 inch thickness.
Cut with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or big mouth jar, dipping the cutter into flour before each
cut. Transfer to the hot greased skillet, covering each biscuit with a thin coating of melted lard.
Bake in a 450 F. oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Makes: 10-12 biscuits. Serve steaming hot
with sweet butter and your favorite jam.
