Preparation

Step 1

- in a small bowl, combine lemon juice, honey and very cold coconut milk - and place back into fridge
- pre-heat oven to 400F / 200C
- place your baking pan (with a bit of lard) in the oven to heat up
- mix your dry ingredients in a bowl with a fork
- cut cold lard into tiny cubes - or if possible, freeze before use and grate off 3 T worth
- using the back of a fork or a pastry blender, gently incorporate the lard into the dry ingredients until it looks like tiny little peas
- mix in the wet ingredients with a fork until just combined - at the end you'll have to work with your hands, but work quickly so the lard doesn't melt
- divide the dough into 6 pieces and quicly (without messing with the dough too much) form biscuits by hand
- remove hot pan from oven and place biscuits on pan about 1/2 an inch apart
- bake for 16 minutes then brush the tops with more lard and bake 5 more minutes
- serve immediately and hot
