How To Make Old Fashioned Biscuits With Lard

[@carolbutler6932]

Granny's revenge; cut those biscuits with that sippy cup. My biggest laugh of the day! Thanks!

[@CookingWithDonna]

I haven't had a decent biscuit since 1996 right before my sweet 86 year old grandmother passed away. She made a mess of biscuits for me about 2 months before she got sick. She tried to tell how she made her biscuits. She never measured a thing. She would say that she used a "smidgen of this and a bit of that. I honestly think that your way is the same as hers. I'm going to make these this evening. We have a convection oven and it may not be quite big enough to move around. But it bakes so good. I will need to just watch them.

[@CookingWithDonna]

Hello DARRIN ..Grandmas cooking we all seem to hold dear to our hearts nothing better...I hope they turn out to your liking and I appreciate you watching ❤️

[@MrDutton12345]

My grandfather used to make homemade biscuits and gravy every morning all us kids would stay the night. He never gave anyone a recipe, but this is the closest thing I've seen to what his biscuits looked like, he just pushed his down a bit thinner. The fluffiest on the inside, with still the crunchiest outside. Thank you for this

[@CookingWithDonna]

Beautiful memories nothing like grandparents cooking that we will always cherish ❤️

[@lauraweiss7875]

I just made your recipe, Donna. My family says that they are the best biscuits they’ve ever eaten. The sticky dough, trifold with floured hands technique is the key, I think. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@CookingWithDonna]

Laura I’m so happy to hear your family enjoyed the biscuits! you just put a big smile on this old gales face❤️😁

For some reason, I've been watching biscuit videos the last couple of days. Yours BY FAR, look the best. Yummy!! Also, you're the only one I've seen using a pastry cutter/mixer. I'm sure it helped you get all the lard mixed up with the flour mixture really well. Nice work!

[@penniecurrie2424]

I use lard also that's what my mom used,tried butter and Crisco don't work like the lard.they up grades the lard to make it healthier,not like the real stuff

[@bva5362]

I will definitely give that a try--popcorn butter salt!

[@CookingWithDonna]

Enjoy and thanks for watching

[@mrequi1]

And who would have thought that butter and lard are actually better for you than margarine and shortening. I recently found this out. Lard, once the staple of most homes in America, suffered mainly due to a smear campaign from the makers of Crisco. To be fair though. Pure lard is better. The Armor and White brands seen in supermarkets is hydrogenated, which makes it little, if any better than vegetable shortening.

[@sarahwieland3243]

Omg, I have been struggling so hard to perfect the art of biscuit making and u have definitely shown me where I am making my mistakes today. Thk u so much ❤ I simply had to come back and update my comment! I tried your biscuits this weekend for biscuits and sausage gravy and wow, just wow!

I’ve been playing around with making biscuits, daily for the past week or so. Strictly been using self rising flour and whole buttermilk but experimenting with lard, butter and Crisco. My best batch thus far has been with the same lard she’s using, butter second best and crisco was my least favorite. Wondering if I try the all purpose if I’d get the desired biscuit. What else is crazy is that I could make fine biscuits when I was a teen but as a 50yr old adult, not so much.
