Yield Makes about 40 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound (about 4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus a little extra for dusting
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure salt
3 ounces (about 1/2 cup) chilled lard
1/2 ounce fresh compressed yeast
1 1/4 cups buttermilk at room temperature

Steps:

  • Sift the dry ingredients together into a warmed mixing bowl. Cut the lard into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives until it is evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, stir the yeast into the buttermilk until it is well blended, pour the liquid into the flour mixture, and stir until blended.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and work lightly until the mixture is smooth and evenly textured. Roll out to about 1/2-inch thick, then cut 1-inch biscuits with a clean, floured metal biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on an ungreased sheet pan, cover with a dish towel, and allow to rise for a while. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400°F. When the biscuits have risen by about a fourth, bake them for about 15 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.

I made these biscuits for my kids and they absolutely loved them! They're now requesting them for breakfast every day.

I'm allergic to ham, so I used turkey bacon instead. It worked out great!

These biscuits were a little too salty for me. I think I'll use less ham next time.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter to the dough next time.

I'm not usually a fan of ham and cheese, but these biscuits changed my mind. The combination of flavors was spot-on, and the biscuit was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.
