Buttermilk Biscuits

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine flour with salt and baking powder with a spoon.

Cut in the lard and butter until you have coarse crumbs. Incorporate the buttermilk and gently bring it together into a dough with your hands or a rubber spatula.

Start with 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and add more buttermilk as needed, if necessary. The biscuit dough will be sticky!!

Pat down on a lightly floured work surface. Use a rolling pin to gently roll into a rectangle shape. Fold several times. Roll out into rectangle about 1-inch thick.

Use a rubber bench scraper to help work with the dough.

Be careful NOT to add too much flour or overwork the dough. Cut biscuits with a 3-inch cutter, using a stamping motion, do not twist it.

Pick up scraps of biscuit dough and shake off excess flour. Press back together. Carefully refold the dough and roll out to a rectangle. Cut out the remaining biscuits. Be careful not to add too much flour or handle the dough too much!

Place biscuits closely together into a buttered cast iron baking pan or baking dish.

Bake in a preheated 475 degree F oven for about 15 minutes or until the biscuit tops are lightly browned. Immediately brush with melted butter.
