Carolyn'S Yeast Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/8 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. buttermilk

Preparation

Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside.
Mix the dry ingredients in the order given, cutting in the shortening as you normally do for biscuits or pie dough.
Stir in the buttermilk and the water-yeast mixture; blend thoroughly.
The dough can now be made into biscuits or refrigerated.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly as for regular biscuits.
Roll, then cut with a biscuit cutter and place in a greased pan.
Let biscuits rise slightly and cook in a 400\u00b0 oven until lightly browned.
The dough keeps well in refrigerator for two or three days in a covered bowl.
When dough is cold it will take a little longer to rise.
