Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
Cut in the lard with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal.
Stir in the buttermilk and form into a ball.
Gently knead on a lightly floured surface until a dough is formed.
Pat or roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1/2-inch-thick round.
Cut out biscuits with a 2/4- or 3-inch round cookie cutter and arrange on the baking sheet.
