Maryland Beaten Biscuits

Directions

Sift the flour and salt together in a bowl.

Cut the lard into the flour with the tips of fingers, working it real quick.

Then, little by little, Ipour in the cold water, until you get a good stiff dough.

Put it on a real solid table with flour.

Make a ball out of the dough..

Use the flat side of a mallet, and beat the dough until it blisters good.

Takes about half an hour.

Form the dough into balls, the size of little eggs, and flatten them a bit on the board.

Put a few pokes in the center with a fork, then bake in a hot 425 degree F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve hot.
