GREG'S SOUTHERN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1/2 teaspoon of lard.
• Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Grate the frozen butter and 2 tablespoons frozen lard into the flour mixture with a cheese grater; stir lightly 1 or 2 times to mix. With your fingers, make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, and pour the bacon drippings and buttermilk into the well. With just the tips of your fingers, stir lightly and quickly to just bring the dough together before the butter and lard melt. Dough will be sticky.
• Scrape dough out onto a floured surface, and gently pat the dough flat. Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour, and fold it in half; pat down, fold again, and repeat until you have folded the dough 4 or 5 times. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a square about 1 inch thick. Cut the biscuit dough into rounds with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the floured edge of a drinking glass by pushing straight down (twisting the cutter will seal the edge and keep the biscuits from rising). Lay the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet so the edges just touch.
• Bake in the preheated oven until risen and lightly golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

SWEET OLIVE BISCUITS (COOKIES)

• Put mixture in large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre, add olive oil, roughly chopped olives and zest. Mix with a flat-bladed knife, then use your hands to work the mixture until it forms a ball.
• Turn mixture onto a lightly floured board, knead into a ball, then divide in half. Roll each piece of dough into a log shape approximately 15-18cm long and 4-5cm in diameter. Wrap in baking paper and freeze for 20-25 minutes, or until firm.
• Remove paper from logs and cut each log into 16-18 slices. Put slices on prepared oven trays. Bake for 15-18 minutes our until lightly golden. Remove from oven and stand on a wire rack to cool.

BISCUIT SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With machine running, pour in 1/4 cup cream and the vanilla, and process until dough just comes together.
• Roll dough between lightly floured sheets of parchment until 1/16 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch fluted cutter, cut out 36 rounds, gathering together scraps and rerolling if needed. Space 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk together egg yolk and remaining tablespoon cream. Brush onto tops of cookies. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. (Unfilled cookies can be stored in an airtight container up to 4 days.)
