This is a crazy simple biscuit recipe.  There are a total of 8 ingredients and you will already have at least five of them on hand – I’m assuming that you probably don’t have caraway, fresh dill or buttermilk as standard ingredients hanging around your kitchen, but of course, you might.  Once you get your lard cut into the dough, you’ll only have to knead it for about two minutes.

This recipe only makes 8 biscuits, which you bake in a cast iron skillet, which I think is kind of the perfect amount of biscuits for a small family dinner.  I was a little worried that the caraway taste in these would overwhelm, but with the dill it balanced out really well and my family polished these off pretty quickly.  They go great with pot roast.

Ingredients:

2 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. Argo baking powder
1 tsp. Morton’s salt
1 tbsp. McCormick caraway seeds
1 tsp. chopped fresh dill
¼ cup Crisco
½ cup Hiland whole milk
½ cup Land O Lakes buttermilk

Quick Tip: You’ll need to cut your lard into the flour mix with a fork until it starts to form pea sized crumbs and then you can knead it all together.
