Recipe:
Preheat oven to 425F
2c all purpose flour
1/3 c lard
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c acidulated milk (or buttermilk)
Cut the lard into the dry ingredients until it is about the size of peas. I like a pastry blender for this. Slowly add in the milk, stirring, until a very stiff batter is formed.
Turn out onto a floured surface and pat or roll to about an inch thick. Cut with a downward motion, do not twist your cutter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. They are done when golden-brown on the top. This makes about 7 biscuits, depending on how large you cut them. Serve hot!
