Pre-heat oven to 400 degress
Place flour in a large bowl, add in lard and use your hands to cut the lard in the flour or use a fork.
Mix in the lard till flour is crumbly or has a corn meal consistency. (2 c self-rising flour, 1/3 c lard)
Add the buttermilk in till your dough is sticky, but not too wet. (3/4 c buttermilk)
Sprinkle flour on top of the dough and flour your hands. (2 c self-rising flour)
Pinch up enough dough to form a 2-inch ball.
Roll the dough around gently with your hands, tucking the seam underneath with your thumbs and smoothing the tops.
Don’t overwork.
Place biscuits in a buttered baking dish letting them touch (I use a cast iron griddle or skillet). (butter)
Brush tops with melted salted butter or bacon grease (Like Mamaw did). (salted butter or bacon grease)
Bake for 20-25 min or till brown.
Remove from oven, brush again with melted butter. (salted butter or bacon grease)
