Step 1: Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Cut in 3/4 cup of lard with a pastry blender or 2 knives until lard is in pea- to walnut-size pieces.
Stir in milk until dough looks shaggy.
Transfer to a floured work surface and knead just slightly until it comes together. Pat dough out 3/4 in. thick.

Step 2: Cut biscuits using a 2 1/2-in. round cutter, patting out scraps until all the dough is used.

Step 3: Arrange biscuits in a greased 4- or 6-qt. (10- or 12-in.) camp dutch oven so they're touching but not scrunched. Cover with lid and coals.

Step 4: Cook biscuits until they're browned and puffed, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 5: Remove pot from fire and uncover. Serve biscuits with butter and honey if you like.
