8 c Flour
1/4 c Baking powder
2 ts Salt
1 c Lard
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Cut lard into flour
with a pastry blender until the mixture has a fine, even crumb. Cover
and store in refrigerator until ready to use. This mixture will keep
for at least a month. Makes 10 cups of biscuit mix.
TO MAKE BISCUITS:
Add 1/2 cup milk to 2 cups Homemade Biscuit Mix and toss until
combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for
about 20 seconds. Pat or roll to 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a
medium-sized (2 inch) biscuit cutter. Bake in a preheated 450 F oven
for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Serve hot. Makes 10-12 biscuits.
