Method

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Lightly grease a baking sheet using 1/2 teaspoon of lard.
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
Grate the frozen butter and 2 tablespoons of frozen lard into the flour mixture using a cheese grater. Stir lightly once or twice to mix.
Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour the bacon drippings and buttermilk into the well.
Using the tips of your fingers, quickly stir the mixture to bring the dough together before the butter and lard melt. The dough will be sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it flat.
Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and fold it in half. Pat it down, fold again, and repeat this process 4 or 5 times.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a square that is approximately 1 inch thick.
Cut the biscuit dough into rounds using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the floured edge of a drinking glass. Push straight down to cut the dough (avoid twisting the cutter to prevent sealing the edges and hindering the biscuits from rising).
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the edges touch.
Bake in the preheated oven
