For those of us who do not eat pork products, ould I successfully substitute the bacon fat for duck fat? These look devine!

These look just like the ones my grandmother made. I grew up in VA. Thanks for sharing this treasured recipe.

Sounds delish, but a diabetics nightmare unfortunately. They actually look like our Australian version being scones or damper.

I remember the days my grandparents spent rendering lard in the kitchen. Those memories rank right up there with the afternoons spent shelling lima beans in the shade of the cherry tree.

I WILL be making these biscuits as soon as I pick up some buttermilk. I already have the bacon grease in the fridge:) Can't wait!

Wow, this takes me right back to Virginia. Eating perfect biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and garden fresh tomatoes in my own grandmother's kitchen. My grandmother always had some rendered bacon fat at the ready for cooking with. Oh, it smelled so good.
