"Lard is a dense, semi-solid fat that is rendered from pig fat. Its neutral taste and high smoke point make it ideal for deep-frying, sautéing, and baking - and lard can also help your pie crust turn out perfectly flaky."
"Adding lard to the biscuit dough will guarantee that you achieve that perfect tender, flaky, and moist texture that is hard to get from butter alone."
"The lard prevents gluten strands in the dough from bonding by creating a coating that inhibits gluten formation, making your biscuits soft and tender rather than dense and chewy."
"Parton's recipe can also be customized with tasty add-ins."
Dolly Parton cherishes her childhood cooking memories and shares her love for Southern comfort food through her brand, Baking with Dolly. She highlights lard as the key ingredient for making perfect biscuits, as it creates a tender and flaky texture by preventing gluten formation. Lard retains moisture better than butter and helps create steam pockets during baking. Parton's buttermilk biscuit recipe includes lard, flour, baking soda, baking powder, buttermilk, and salt, and allows for customization with various add-ins.
