Tender, flaky, buttery...it's a biscuit lover's dream. These rise HUGE. My mom's recipe, I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. :) Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast |
1/4 cup warm water |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and set aside. Mix dry ingredients in order given and cut in shortening until dry and crumbly.
2. Stir in the yeast-water mixture and buttermilk; blend thoroughly. At this point you can cover and refrigerate until ready or make the biscuits now.
3. Turn onto a floured surface and knead lightly, then roll fairly thick (about 1/2 inch) and cut with biscuit cutters; place on a greased pan.
4. Let biscuits rise slightly (about 15 minutes) and bake in a 400 degree F oven until lightly browned. (about 8-12 minutes).
