Ingredients

1 pound (about 4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus a little extra for dusting
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure salt
3 ounces (about 1/2 cup) chilled lard
1/2 ounce fresh compressed yeast
1 1/4 cups buttermilk at room temperature

Steps:

Sift the dry ingredients together into a warmed mixing bowl. Cut the lard into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives until it is evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, stir the yeast into the buttermilk until it is well blended, pour the liquid into the flour mixture, and stir until blended.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and work lightly until the mixture is smooth and evenly textured. Roll out to about 1/2-inch thick, then cut 1-inch biscuits with a clean, floured metal biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on an ungreased sheet pan, cover with a dish towel, and allow to rise for a while. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400°F. When the biscuits have risen by about a fourth, bake them for about 15 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out really dense. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have a few slices of ham in my fridge and these biscuits are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of ham, so I was hesitant to try these biscuits. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. The ham was cooked perfectly and the biscuits were light and fluffy.

I thought these biscuits were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my biscuits didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected.

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk or butter next time.
