Recipe ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons lard or vegetable shortening, chilled
- 4 tablespoons butter, chilled
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup ice water
Recipe method
- Mix flour with salt. Cut lard and butter into small pieces and work into flour, as if making pastry.
- Mix milk and ice water together. Pour mixture into flour mixture and beat until mixture forms a ball.
- Continue to beat the dough 2 minutes in a food processor or 5 minutes with a mixer.
- Roll out dough 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles with a 1 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or the lip of a small glass.
- Place the rounds on ungreased cookie sheets, prick on top with fork tines, and bake at 350 degrees F until they just begin to brown on the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
