Angel Biscuits

This is a Martin family favorite.

TIP: The yeast in this recipe takes the place of the baking soda and baking powder normally added when using all-purpose or plain flour.

1 pkg yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups plain or all-purpose flour

Dissolve the package of yeast in the lukewarm water. In a large mixing bowl sift sugar, salt, flour together. Cut shortening into mixture until it looks like coarse mill. Add buttermilk, then yeast water, kneading and folding mixture until well blended. Store in refrigerator until ready to use. Remove, shape, let rise for a lest 30 minutes. Bake at 425 degrees until golden brown.
