Ingredients

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 tbsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

1 tbsp Granulated Sugar

1 tsp Salt

2 tbsp Unsalted Butter chilled and cubed

2 tbsp Lard chilled and cubed

1 1/2 cup Buttermilk (chilled)


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 500° F and set oven rack to the center of the oven. 2. Combine dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse to blend. Add chilled Butter and Lard and pulse until the the mixture looks pebbly. 3. Remove from the food processor and put this mixture in a bowl and gently stir in the Buttermilk until just incorporated. 4. Turn onto a flour board and flour the top, and fold over, flour, pat, fold, flour until barely workable. 5. Cut biscuits and put them on a baking pan prepared with a baking sheet with the sides just kissing each other. 6. Put them in the oven, close the oven door, and turn the temperature down to 450° F. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

These are my granddaughter's favorites.

Too dry and dense, but only because the dough gets overworked. Good light fluffy biscuits barely get mixed and you should never press down on the dough too much. I learned from an old-time biscuit maker from SC. Also, turn them over immediately after you take them out of the oven—bottom stays crunchy. ❤️
