Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup lard
  • 2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit, or 230 degrees Celsius, for optimal results.
2
Take a large mixing bowl and combine the dry ingredients of flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, and baking powder in a harmonious blend.
3
Using a pastry blender, work the lard into the flour mixture until it reaches a crumbly consistency; then, incorporate buttermilk to create a smooth and velvety texture.
4
Transfer the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just enough to form a cohesive dough with the perfect balance of moisture.
5
Roll out the dough to an even thickness of 1 inch, and use a cookie cutter or round glass to cut out the biscuits.
6
Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to spread out during baking.
7
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven until their tops are golden brown, and the baking time is approximately 12 minutes.
