I found this recipe in one of my cooking light magazines. These biscuits are easy to make and they have a great taste. I used 3 C. white flour and 2 C. wheat flour and vegetable oil instead of the shortening and they turned out perfect!! Ingredients:
1 (2 1/4 teaspoon) package dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees) |
5 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup vegetable shortening |
2 cups low-fat buttermilk |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture; stir until just moist.
5. Cover and chill 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
7. Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured surface; knead lightly 5 times.
8. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
9. Place biscuits on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
10. Brush melted butter over the biscuit tops.
11. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden.
