Put flour in large mixing bowl. Measure lard into flour. Take a pastry cutter if your fancy...if your country, a fork will do. Cut the grease into the flour until it resembles the size of peas. Now you are ready to add your milk. Remember the less handling of the dough the lighter the biscuit. Stir until forms a ball. Now if you dont have a lot of time just spoon the biscuit dough onto a greased hot cookie sheet. If you have time, roll the dough onto lightly floured surface about 1/2 thick. Cut with biscuit cutters if your fancy...if not a glass dipped in flour will work. Place them on cookie sheet and bake in a 400 degree, preheated oven for approx. 10 minutes. Makes bakers dozen, that is if you dont want them to be cat heads... otherwise it makes 6 cat heads.

Saute a couple minutes. Sprinkle flour over veggies and stir it up good. Add water or tomatoe sauce, stirring constantly until thickened. Add your crumbled up bacon, salt and pepper. Yummy.
