    • Instructions


    Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water and let stand for 5-10 minutes. Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening. Add 1 cup of buttermilk to flour mixture and mix well. Add yeast and remaining buttermilk, mixing thoroughly. Knead dough on a floured board. Store in air-tight container in the refrigerator. Take out the amount of dough needed and roll to ¼ inch thickness. Cut biscuits into desired size. Dip in melted butter and bake in 425° oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Note: this dough does not need to rise before baking and will keep quite well in the refrigerator for several days.
