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.
