ANGEL BISCUITS
1 pkg dry yeast
½ Cup warm water
5 Cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp sugar
¾ Cup shortening
2 Cups buttermilk
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water, Set aside
2.Sift together dry ingredients, Cut shortening into dry mixture until well mixed, Add buttermilk and yeast and work together with a large spoon.
3, Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Take out only as much dough as needed, roll into a ½ inch thickness on floured surface, Cut with biscuit cutter.
4. Arrange on a baking sheet and let rise until doubled in size,.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
The dough will be a bit sticky so just roll out with a little flour on the board.
I often divide recipe in half.
