Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
Cut in the cold Lard and Butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and pour in the cold Buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Fold the dough in half and pat down again to 1-inch thickness. Repeat this folding process 3-4 times to create layers.
Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with Melted Butter.
