The key to flaky biscuits is to keep the ingredients cold. Cold lard and buttermilk prevent the gluten from developing too much, resulting in a more tender biscuit.
Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing will result in tough biscuits. Mix until just combined.
For extra-high biscuits, try stacking the cut biscuits on top of each other before baking.

    I used shortening instead of lard, and they still turned out great!

    Freezes really well. Baked straight from the freezer for 15 minutes and they were good as new.
