Add 1 pkg. rapid-rise yeast with 3-4 T. warm water.
Mix dry ingredients together:
- 4 C. flour
- 1 t. salt
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1 T. baking powder
- 3 T. sugar
Cut in 3/4 C. vegetable shortening until mixture resembles coarse corn meal.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients mixture, and stir in the yeast-water and 1 C. buttermilk. Add flour as needed to make the batter pliable for handling.
Roll out to approximately 1/2 inch, cut biscuits and place on ungreased baking sheet.
Can be cooked immediately or up to 2 hours later at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. Biscuits are done when the tops are golden brown.
