Ingredients
US
Metric
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lard
- ¾ cup milk and water in equal parts
- 1 tablespoon butter
Make it lactose-friendly
- ¾ cup milk and water in equal parts → lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
Steps
- Mix dry ingredients, and sift twice.
- Work in butter and lard with tips of fingers; add gradually the liquid, mixing with knife to a soft dough. It is impossible to determine the exact amount of liquid, owing to differences in flour. Toss on a floured board, pat and roll lightly to one-half inch in thickness. Shape with a biscuit-cutter. Place on buttered pan, and bake in hot oven twelve to fifteen minutes. If baked in too slow an oven, the gas will escape before it has done its work. Many obtain better results by using bread flour.
