My review
Sadie's Buttermilk Biscuits

PTRICK
"This country fair award-winning recipe was perfected by my grandmother on the northern Canadian prairies. Sadie's advice - leave little chunks of lard the size of peas when cutting the flour in. Can be served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner."

I think there is an error in the recipe. Perhaps only 1 tsp of baking powder. I made this with the 4 in the recipe and it wasn’t edible. Will try again with 1 and see how it goes.
