Hot Crusty Buttermilk Biscuits
5 cups sifted white flour made from soft wheat
(Peacock prefers White Lily)
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
(Homemade version: Combine 1/4 cup cream of
tartar and 2 tablespoons baking soda and measure
out what you need!.)
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 cup cold lard
1 1/4 cups cold buttermilk
A few tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 500 degrees!. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt!. Add lard and, working quickly, coat it in flour and rub between your fingertips until about half the lard is finely blended and the other half remains in large pieces, about 1/2 inch in size!. Pour in buttermilk and stir quickly just until dough is blended and begins to mass!.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and, with floured hands, knead briskly eight to 10 times, until it becomes cohesive!.
Gently flatten dough with your hands into a disk of even thinness; then, using a floured rolling pin, roll it out to a uniform thickness of 1/2 inch!. With a dinner fork dipped in flour, pierce the dough at 1/2-inch intervals!.
Lightly flour a 2 1/2- or 3-inch biscuit cutter and stamp out rounds without twisting the cutter in the dough!. Cut biscuits from dough as close together as possible for maximum yield!. Transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet, placing them so they barely touch!. Don’t reroll the scraps!. Just arrange them around the edge of the sheet and bake — cook’s treat!.
Place the baking sheet immediately on the center rack of the oven!. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, checking after six minutes, and turning the pan, if needed, for even baking!. When biscuits are golden brown, remove them from oven and brush the tops with melted butter!.
Makes about 15 biscuits!.
