Goodnight-Loving Trail Buttermilk Biscuits

Combine 3 cupfuls of flour, 1 teaspoonful of baking soda and 2 teaspoonfuls salt, with lard the size of an egg.

Add to this enough buttermilk or clabber to make a soft dough.

Mix thoroughly, then dump onto a well floured board; knead lightly with your fingers until the dough does not stick to your fingers. Use light pressure of hand or rolling pin to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut with cutter, or squeeze with hands into biscuits.

Place in a well-greased pan, using melted lard.

Take a tablespoon and spoon enough lard on each biscuit to cover them well.

Bake in a hot oven (400°) until brown.
