2 Young broiling chickens (2
1/2 lb Ea)
Salt & pepper
2 c Flour
2 c Lard
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
3 1/2 c Milk

Quarter chickens. Season with salt & pepper & roll each in flour. Use
2 iron frying pans. Add lard to depth of 2" or more. Heat lard, add
chickens & cover for a few minutes. Then saute', uncovered, until
nicely browned. Remove chicken to absorbent paper & keep in warm
place. Make biscuit dough using 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup lard, 1
tsp. salt, the baking powder & 1/2 cup milk. Pat out on board to 1/2"

pans & blend in 1/4 cup flour. Gradually add 3 cups milk. Cook,
stirring constantly, over low heat until thickened. Season to taste.
Serve chicken with biscuit puffs & gravy.
