Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350F. Take the flour and sift into a big bowl (sifting does make a difference). Gently make a hole (she called it a well) in the center of the flour. Pour the milk into the well and add the lard. Just reach into the can and bring some out on your fingers. Gradually squeeze the lard/shortening between your fingers as you rub against the sides of your well adding flour with the milk and shortening little by little. Keep working this way until you have a ball of dough the right consistency. Put the dough ball on a lightly floured surface (by the time you get it out onto the floured cloth to roll it on, you should be done kneading). Roll out to about ½ inch or a little less thick. Cut using the top of a soup can with holes punched in to the top to let air out. Put on a pan not touching. When you put the biscuits in the oven turn the oven to 450. Watch them until the tops turn slightly brown. |
