Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3/4 cup cold lard or vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus 1/4 cup melted butter
1 3/4 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Work lard and butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers until largest pieces are the size of small peas. Add milk, and stir with a fork until a dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and pat out to 1 inch thick. Cut out rounds with a floured 2 1/4-inch biscuit cutter. Space 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gather together scraps, and repeat.
  • Brush tops with melted butter. Bake until light-golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.

I'm not usually a fan of biscuits, but these were really good. The glaze was the perfect amount of sweetness.
