Yeasty Biscuits

By cmschnettler

Ingredients

• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup warm water (100F to 110F)
• 3 to 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup shortening

Preparation

Step 1

Mix ingredients in bread machine & let rise until doubled in size.
Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a heavily floured board. Cut biscuits with a 2-inch cutter. Place on a baking sheet and let rise 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Bake biscuits 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Makes about 18.

Note: Angel biscuits are a cross between a biscuit and a yeast roll. Placing them close together on the baking sheet makes them rise more.
