Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lard, plus 2 teaspoons for greasing
- 5 1/2 cups biscuit mix with butter flakes, such as Atkinson's
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease three 9-inch pie tins with 2 teaspoons lard.
Put the biscuit mix in a bowl and make a well in the middle of the flour. Put the lard in the well and add the buttermilk. Gently mix the buttermilk and lard into the flour with your hands until a soft dough forms. If the dough is dry, add a little more buttermilk; if it's too wet, add a little more flour. Coat your hands well with flour and gently form the dough into balls a little larger than a golf ball. Place the dough balls in the pie tins, 7 per tin. Gently press each ball down to flatten.
Bake until lightly browned on top and the biscuits release from the tins when you give them a shake, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and rub the tops of the biscuits with the butter or margarine. Serve hot!

My husband had family over for a hunting trip so I tried this out on them. The guys would not shut up about them. Even my 8 year old who only loves Grands was ga-ga over them. I've seen some lower ratings. I am pretty sure it is only because they charge so much for shipping the bisqit mix. Saying that - I'm willing to pay it to get compliments like these. Thanks Grandma Williams!

I'm originally from the South and these are the best biscuits I've ever tasted! I've tried different biscuit mixes with this recipe, but now I see why Grandma Williams used the Atkinson's. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us Sunny!

Great biscuits! In Richmond, I found Southern Biscuit mix with Golden Shortening Flakes (butter flakes in the mix at our local Food Lion - $3.99 for 3.4 lbs. Makes great biscuits - lots of oohs & aahs at Thanksgiving!
