Ingredients
  

  • 2½ cups Soft White Wheat flour (can substitute another fresh milled whole grain, all purpose flour, or self rising flour - see tips below)*
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 5 tbsp Lard (can substitute with unsalted butter or shortening)
  • ¾ cup Buttermilk (see tips below)**

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450° F.
  • Grease glass pie plate (or other baking dish) and set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a heavy glass bowl.
    2½ cups Soft White Wheat flour (can substitute another fresh milled whole grain, all purpose flour, or self rising flour - see tips below)*, 1 tbsp Baking powder, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • Add lard or butter. Use a pastry blender, fork, or *clean* fingers to incorporate the fat into the flour until it's well mixed and crumbly.
    5 tbsp Lard (can substitute with unsalted butter or shortening)
  • Pour in buttermilk and mix well using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Form a rough ball of dough.
    ¾ cup Buttermilk (see tips below)**
  • Lightly sprinkle flour over the dough. Use your *clean* hands to shape into 6 (or so) biscuits. Be careful not to incorporate more flour into the dough, just allow the flour to be the barrier so the dough doesn't stick to you or the bowl.
  • Place round biscuits in greased pie plate. Lightly dab the tops of the biscuits with some extra buttermilk. Roughly ½ tsp each, just so the tops are damp.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until cooked through. Serve warm!

Notes

Tips
*If substituting whole grain wheat for self-rising flour, omit baking powder and baking soda.
**If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice or white vinegar to 3/4 cup of milk before you begin preparing this recipe. By the time you're ready to add the "buttermilk," the concoction will have thickened and be ready for use.
