Learn how to make buttermilk biscuits the old-fashioned way!
The method for how to make buttermilk biscuits is the same as the How to Make Perfect, Fluffy Biscuits EVERY TIME video I posted a couple of months ago, but the ingredients are different.

This is part one of a two part series on how to make buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy.

BTW, this is an affiliate link to the cookie cutters that I ALWAYS use for making biscuits. One of my favorite things in my kitchen! amzn.to/2Ph1yJH

Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour
6 Tbsp. lard (or butter)
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 tsp. baking soda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450º.

Combine flour and baking soda
Add lard and cut in to flour with a fork until it is distributed throughout. (It will resemble a coarse meal.)
Add buttermilk.
Stir in loosely with a fork until you can begin working the dough with your hands.
DO NOT KNEAD DOUGH. Work the dough with a light hand until it all comes together in a ball.
Press dough out and cut out biscuits or pinch off biscuits and place on pan.
Bake for about 12 minutes or until tops start to brown just slightly.
