grandma's buscuits with lardMarch 10, 2008By m.piedra
"i grew up on this recipe. these buscuits have a thin layer of uncooked dough near the bottom. writer one turned them over, which is the secret; otherwise, the bottoms won't burn, and the whole buscuit bakes evenly. the other action is to double the baking powder, making them rise more. you might also adjust the heat. i tried this twice with the same unhappy results."
