Angel biscuits

Ingredients/Components

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

How to make angel biscuits:

Dissolve yeast in warm water, setting 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 yeast mixture. Blend thoroughly and the dough is ready to refrigerate or roll out into biscuits. When you are ready to make biscuits, turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly as for regular biscuits. Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter, placing them in a greased pan. Let dough rise slightly before baking at 400° for 12 to 15 minutes until done. If dough is cold, let it set out a little longer.
