Creator Notes
My grandmother incessantly extinct lard in her buttermilk biscuits, but at times she’d exercise bacon grease. The latter preparation is my accepted because it adds depth of taste and smokiness. She incessantly extinct self-rising flour (namely, White Lily designate), but all-motive flour may maybe maybe maybe additionally be substituted with the addition of 4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Rendered bacon grease will contain a tiny bit salt, but no longer ample to season the overall batch of dough. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt along with the leaven. —Heather Baird
