Kentucky Beaten Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 heaping Tbsp. lard
1/2 c. water and 1/2 c. milk, mixed with ice cubes

Preparation

Work lard into dry ingredients until consistency of coarse corn meal. Add liquid, very little at a time, until dough is very stiff. Add as little of the liquid as possible. The stiffer the dough, the better the biscuits. Roll dough until satiny smooth. Cut biscuits about 1/2-inch thick. Bake at 350\u00b0 for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
