Little Brown Biscuits

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Station

Preheat your oven to 450°F and grease a 9-inch aluminum cake pan with a teaspoon of nonhydrogenated leaf lard.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.

3. Cut in Lard

Cut in the leaf lard using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Buttermilk

Pour cold buttermilk into the flour mixture and gently fold together until you have a loose and shaggy dough.

5. Shape Dough and Cut Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter, pat it into a ½-inch thick slab, and use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.

6. Arrange and Bake

Arrange biscuits snugly in the prepared cake pan and bake at 500°F for 12 to 14 minutes until golden brown.

7. Cool and Serve

Let the biscuits cool in the pan for about 3 minutes before serving.
