sift you up a small pile of lily white flour

throw a scoop of lard in there

pour about a 3/4 to a 1 cup of buttermilk

mix it all up to a fine and dandy doughball

tear you off chunks and shape them into a biscuits and space them out on a greased baking pan or cookie sheet.

when you're done, stick the pan into the preheated 275-300 degree oven 'til they're done.

don't burn 'em, dambit.
 
this ain't no chuck wagon.

EDIT: i have had some canned biscuits fried up like agomer is talking about. basically cook them in grease, then flip them. this was on a camping trip.

gmarshall has it right....buttermilk and if there's not lots of flour everywhere when your done--then somethings wrong agomez

my old lady makes the biscuits come out smooth on top but when I make them they always end up with a rough top surface. Damn, now I'm hungry!
 
Word. G7 has it. Turn the lard into the flour with a fork.

If you want better than buttermilk biscuits (and none of us prolly have real farm buttermilk anymore) a great biscuit is made with half and half. Trust me.

If you want to know what's good, mash up some molasses and butter and spread it on your biscuit. Heaven on earth. Take a bite of ham, a swallow of coffee...repeat.

I love the south.
