Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. 2
   Cut the lard into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
3. 3
   Stir in the milk a small bit at a time, adding just enough so that the dough rounds up and leaves the sides of the bowl.
4. 4
   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out until it is 1/2-inch thick.
5. 5
   Then with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
6. 6
   Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
7. 7
   Serve hot with butter and jam or with syrup.
