    Title: Classic Buttermilk Biscuits
    Categories: Breads, Dairy
    Yield: 14 Servings

    5 c Sifted unbleached
    - all-purpose flour (measure
    - after sifting)
    1 tb + 1 1/2 ts Scott's Homemade
    - Baking Powder (below)
    1 tb Kosher salt
    1/2 c + 2 Tbsp. packed lard or
    - butter; chilled
    2 c Chilled buttermilk
    3 tb Unsalted butter; melted

    MMMMM-------------------HOMEMADE BAKING POWDER------------------------
    1/4 c Cream of tartar
    2 tb Baking soda

    In a small bowl combine cream of tartar and baking soda.
    Sift together 3 times. Transfer to a clean, tight-sealing
    jar. Store at room temperature, away from sunlight, for up
    to 6 weeks.

    Heat oven to 500ºF/260ºC.

    In large bowl whisk together flour, homemade baking
    powder, and kosher salt. Add lard, coating in flour.
    Working quickly, rub lard between fingertips until roughly
    half the lard is coarsely blended and half remains in
    large pieces, about 3/4".

    Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add buttermilk all
    at once. With a large spoon stir mixture quickly, just
    until it is blended and begins to mass and form a sticky
    dough. (If dough appears dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons
    additional buttermilk.)

    Immediately turn dough onto generously floured surface.
    Using floured hands, knead briskly 8 to 10 times until
    cohesive ball of dough forms. Gently flatten dough with
    hands to even thickness. Using floured rolling pin,
    lightly roll dough to a 3/4" thickness.

    Using a dinner fork dipped in flour, pierce dough
    completely through at 1/2-inch intervals. Flour a 2 1/2"
    or 3" biscuit cutter. Stamp out rounds and arrange on
    heavy baking sheet. Add dough pieces, as-is, to baking
    sheet.

    Place on rack in upper third of oven. Bake 8 to 12 minutes
    until crusty and golden brown. Remove. Brush with melted
    butter. Serve hot.

    Yields: 12 to 16 biscuits
