7 tb Ice water

Recipe by: Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook Insert steel
blade in food processor bowl. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt,
and pulse until well blended. Add lard; process until mixture resembles
coarse meal. With processor running, add 7 Tbs water in a steady stream
through food chute until dough forms a ball, adding more water if
necessary. Process an additional 2 mins. Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll dough
on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds.
Place biscuits on ungreased cookie sheet and prick top of each biscuit 3
times with a fork. Bake for 20 mins, or until lightly browned. YIELD:
about
3 1/2 dozen

NOTES : Unless you, like the cooks in bygone days, have a 2-foot thick,
sturdy butcher block table to pound these on, the time to beat
them, and the inclination to do so, you will most likely
appreciate this modern method.
