Biscuits
2 cups sifted enriched flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
4 to 6 tablespoons lard
⅓ to ½ cup milk
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in lard until mixture has fine even crumb. Add enough milk to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for ½ minute. Pat or roll ½ inch thick and cut with a medium-sized biscuit cutter, dipped in flour. Place on baking sheet and bake in a hot oven (450° F.) for 12 to 15 minutes. Yield: 10 to 12 biscuits.
