FAILPROOF FLUFFY BUTTER BISCUITS
Sweet or savory, these homemade biscuits are a delight! It's a basic old-fashioned biscuit. They are nice and fluffy thanks to the baking soda. Baked until golden brown, they're warm and flaky on the inside. The biscuits have a slightly buttery taste. Try them with marmalade or some creamy sausage gravy.

Steps:
- 1. Cut lard into flour using a pastry blender or two forks, and add the pinch of sugar. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough and knead until smooth (do not over knead as this will lend a tough biscuit).
- 2. With floured hands pinch off a bit of the dough and roll into a ball, lightly flatten in a greased iron skillet or pan. Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Brush with melted butter when removed from the oven.
MY GRANNY'S OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS
A simple, basic buttermilk biscuit with minimal ingredients. It's an old-fashioned recipe everyone should have handy. If you follow Elaine's directions, once baked the biscuit is perfectly flaky and fluffy with a little tang from the buttermilk. They're melt-in-your-mouth good.
