What really makes a huge difference in the end result is that these biscuits are made using bacon grease. Trust me – it makes these biscuits fit for a king! Once you’ve tried them this way, there’s just no going back to your old recipe again. And I also think biscuits made with buttermilk are better than any others!
Want to know what I always do when making this recipe? I make a double batch of the biscuits, fill half of them with the bacon and cheese for breakfast, and then serve the rest of them plain with dinner that evening or even the next day. They’re super yummy with soups and stews!

Quick tip: You can substitute shortening for the lard, but it will change the texture and taste of the biscuits a little.
