INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Fat

    • ¼ cup lard, chilled and cut into small pieces

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥛 ⅓ cup light cream
    • 2 tablespoons cold water (optional)

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.

2

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Use a fork to cut in lard until mixture resembles coarse meal. Using a standing mixer or a wooden spoon, mix dough as you slowly add cream. Mix well to form dough into a ball, adding cold water as needed.

3

Place dough onto a clean surface and knead slightly. Using a mallet or a one-piece rolling pin, beat dough a few times to form into a rough rectangle. Fold dough over, then beat it out again. Repeat this process until dough becomes white and blisters form on the surface, about 15 minutes.

4

Roll out dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds and prick the tops a few times with the tines of a fork. Place dough rounds on the prepared baking sheets.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden, about 15 minutes.
