These biscuits are also excellent baked on top
of Gwen's

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS
1/4 cup lard
2 cups flour
1 level tbs baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbs sugar
3/4 cup milk
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the lard
into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender until the
mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Stir in the milk a small bit at a
time, adding just enough so that the dough rounds up and leaves the
sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface
and roll it out until it is 1/2 inch thick. Then with a 2 &
1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them on an
ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are
golden brown on top. Serve hot with butter and jam or with syrup.
