2 1/2 c. flour 1 t. baking pwd
1 t. salt 1 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening 1/4 c. warm water
1 pkg. dry yeast 1 c. buttermilk
Dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 c. warm water and set aside. Mix the dry ingredients in the order given (left to right), cutting in the shortening as you normally do for biscuits or pie dough.
Stir in the buttermilk, also the water with the yeast in it. Blend thoroughly and the dough is ready to be refrigerated in a large, covered bowl or made into biscuits.
When you are ready to work the dough , turn it out onto a floured board and knead lighly as for regular buscuits.
Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter and place in a greased pan.
Let the biscuits rise slightly (if the dough is cold, it will take a little longer for them to rise than when first mixed.), and pop into a 400-degfree oven until lightly browned. Surprise your family some morning at breakfast. Heloise.
