Pulse the dry ingredients with the butter and lard until grainy, NOT blended! Add the cold buttermilk, and mix until the dough comes together. Place dough on a floured cloth or marble slab, and knead a few times with floured hands. (Keep the dough cold!) Pat or roll out to 3/4-inch thick, and cut out biscuit rounds or shapes. (You can use a cookie cutter!) These biscuits can be frozen ahead, or baked immediately. Baking time: Bake at 400 degrees F for 13-15 minutes if fresh, and 15-18 minutes if frozen.
