Tallow doesn't come in freezable sticks for hand-grating, so I use a melt-and-freeze technique for making little fat beads. The same approach works with butter, coconut oil, or any other saturated fat that solidifies at room temp. Here's the original recipe: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/... 🐄 Beef Tallow Biscuits 🐄 Dry Mix: • 465g self-rising flour • 22g sugar • 15g baking powder • 4g salt Wet Mix: • 170g saturated fat, like beef tallow • 400g ice-cold buttermilk Egg Wash: • 1 egg yolk • 1 tbsp water Whisk the dry stuff together. Stir the wet stuff together as shown in the video. Combine both, and immediately refrigerate. Roll the dough out and cut it into equal-sized biscuits. Park them in the freezer while you pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush each one with egg wash before baking them for 15 minutes. 🔗‍ Social Links 🔗‍ Support on Patreon:   / shaq   Hand-made Ceramic Dinnerware: https://dinnerwithbarkley.com Follow on Instagram: https://internetshaquille.com/instagram Free Weekly Newsletter:   / 464611   Brands I Like: https://internetshaquille.com/affilia... 0:00 - A Note on Flakiness 0:17 - Make the Dough 1:29 - Take a Break 2:01 - Form the Biscuits 3:02 - Ready to Bake 4:12 - Paid Ad for Wildgrain
