Amazing "Buttermilk" Biscuits

I LOVE biscuits.  Especially canned biscuits.  Unfortunately, between the dairy and the soy restrictions, it has been a long time since I've had any.  I scoured the internet to try and find a recipe that had neither dairy nor soy.  I never found one.  So I took a vegan one and added lard.  It came out amazing!  Here it is:

2 cups flour (I used unbleached)
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup lard
3/4 cup almond milk
1 tsp vinegar

Preheat oven to 450
Add vinegar to milk and set aside.
Put dry ingredients into a bowl.  Using a pastry blender blend lard into the dry ingredients until you have a course mixture.  
Add milk mixture and stir
Put dough onto a silpat silicone cookie sheet (or a floured countertop) and knead until dough is smooth.  If the dough is sticky add flour.
Put another silpat on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll to about 1/2 inch thickness.  (If you don't have a silpat, then just roll it out carefully.  I'm lazy so I use the silpats.)  Remove top silpat.  

Use a drinking glass to cut out rounds. Place the rounds on a third silpat on top of a perforated baking sheet (or if you don't have the fancy equipment any ungreased cookie sheet) Then gather up the extra into a ball and roll again and cut out rounds again.  Then gather up the extra and make an amoeba biscuit by piling it into a generally biscuit shaped blob.  (Can you find the amoeba biscuit in the photos?)  

Bake for 10-12 minutes.
