My grandmother taught me how to make these Southern buttermilk biscuits way before I was even a teenager. This is the only recipe I have ever used, and they are always a hit.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
These Southern buttermilk biscuits are old-fashioned and easy to make. They are fluffy and soft inside. Outside they're golden brown with crunchy edges. Using lard adds a savory flavor to them. By rolling them in your hands and placing them in the skillet, you save on preparation time. Enjoy with a smear of butter and jam or on their own alongside bacon and eggs. They'll be delicious for an egg and cheese sandwich too.

How To Make southern buttermilk biscuits
-
1Cut lard into flour using a pastry blender or two forks, and add a pinch of sugar. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough and knead until smooth (do not over-knead as this will lend a tough biscuit). -
2With floured hands pinch off a bit of the dough and roll it into a ball. Lightly flatten it in a greased iron skillet or pan.
-
3Bake in a preheated 425 F degree oven for 15-18 minutes.

4Brush with melted butter when removed from the oven.
