1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | cups | Flour |
| ¼ | cup | Instant lowfat dry milk (I |
| Used nonfat) | ||
| 1 | tablespoon | Baking powder |
| 2 | tablespoons | Sugar (I used less) |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 | teaspoons | Cream of tartar |
| ½ | cup | Cold butter in pieces |
| ½ | cup | Cold lard |
| 14 | tablespoons | Cold buttermilk |
Directions
Pulse the dry ingredients with the butter and lard until grainy, NOT blended! Add the cold buttermilk, and mix until the dough comes together.
Place dough on a floured cloth or marble slab, and knead a few times with floured hands. (Keep the dough cold!) Pat or roll out to ¾-inch thick, and cut out biscuit rounds or shapes. (You can use a cookie cutter!)
These biscuits can be frozen ahead, or baked immediately.
Baking time: Bake at 400 degrees F for 13-15 minutes if fresh, and 15-18 minutes if frozen.
