Maya Angelou's Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Cut in the lard until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough leaves the side of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until it's smooth. Roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into 2-inch rounds. If there is no biscuit cutter on hand, use a water glass. (Turn the glass upside down, dust the rim in flour and cut the biscuits.)
Bake the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. From "Hallelujah! The Welcome Table: A Lifetime of Memories with Recipes" by Maya Angelou
Serves: 8
Preparation time: 30 minutes (plus 1 hour chicken soaking time)
Total time: 1 hour 35 minutes
