Servings: 12 Servings
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup milk
- 1 Tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4½ teaspoons granulated sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup lard
Makes: 9inch round
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450℉ and grease an 8 or 9-inch cast iron skillet.
- Stir together milk and vinegar or lemon juice and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
- Cut the lard and butter into the dry ingredients using two knives or a pastry cutter. Stop when you have about pea sized crumbles.
- Add the soured milk and stir until just incorporated. The dough should be thick, but its okay if it is a little bit sticky.
- Spoon into skillet and bake 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden.
- Cool 5-10 minutes, then cut into slices and serve.
Notes
You can use buttermilk in place of the soured milk if you have it.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, try using a pie plate or a cake pan.
You can use shortening or additional butter in place of the lard.
