Buttermilk Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. 2
   In a large bowl, stir together the self-rising flour and baking powder. Pour in the melted lard and mix until blended. Stir in the buttermilk and milk just until the dough comes together.
3. 3
   Pat the dough out on a lightly floured surface and roll to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter. Place on baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with bacon drippings.
4. 4
   Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms and tops are lightly browned.
