_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.
