Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 teaspoon lard
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons butter -- frozen
2 tablespoons lard -- frozen
1 teaspoon bacon drippings
1 cup buttermilk
Light and fluffy and the closest thing I've found to my grandmother's
biscuits. Delicious for jams, butter, honey, corn syrup, or just
great bread for any meal.
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 15 min
Ready In: 35 min
Preheat oven to 450F (230 C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1/2
teaspoon of lard.
Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a
bowl. Grate the frozen butter and 2 tablespoons frozen lard into the
flour mixture with a cheese grater; stir lightly 1 or 2 times to mix.
With your fingers, make a well in the middle of the flour mixture,
and pour the bacon drippings and buttermilk into the well. With just
the tips of your fingers, stir lightly and quickly to just bring the
dough together before the butter and lard melt. Dough will be sticky.
Scrape dough out onto a floured surface, and gently pat the dough
flat. Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour, and fold it in half;
pat down, fold again, and repeat until you have folded the dough 4 or
5 times. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a square about 1"
thick. Cut the biscuit dough into rounds with a 2 1/2: biscuit cutter
or the floured edge of a drinking glass by pushing straight down
(twisting the cutter will seal the edge and keep the biscuits from
rising). Lay the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet so the edges
just touch.
Bake in the preheated oven until risen and lightly golden brown, 15
to 20 minutes.
