Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup lard
• 2 cups buttermilk

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. 2 Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut lard into flour mixture using a pastry blender until crumbly; stir in buttermilk. Turn mixture onto a floured surface and knead just a few times to form a moist dough.
3. 3 Roll dough out to 1-inch thickness; cut biscuits with a cookie cutter or round glass. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden, about 12 minutes.
