Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp lard
milk

Steps:

1. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then work in lightly the lard and mix with sufficient milk to make soft dough. Roll thin, cut into biscuits with small cutter and bake in a quick oven.

Tips:

Use cold butter: This will help create flaky layers in your biscuits.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
Use a biscuit cutter that is at least 2 inches in diameter. This will ensure that the biscuits are cooked evenly.
Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet. This will help them rise properly.
Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them brown and cook through.
Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam.
