Sheron's biscuits

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 cups White Lily self-rising
Flour
½ cup Lard 2 cup buttermilk
Bacon grease

Directions

Cut lard into flour. Stir in buttermilk, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be fairly wet & sticky. Sprinkle extra flour over the dough in the bowl to keep dough from sticking to your hands. Form rough lumpy biscuits with your hands. Grab a lump of dough - about the size of a lemon? - & quickly pat it into a rough biscuit about 3 inches in diameter & about ½-¾ inches thick by bouncing it back & forth lightly between your hands. Do not handle dough any longer than absolutely necessary. Repeat, sprinkling more flour over dough as necessary. You will get 12 largish biscuits from this recipe if you do it right. Place biscuits side by side on baking sheet - they should be touching. They should fill up a jelly roll pan. Bake at 450F for 15 - 20 min. or until golden brown.
