Scratch Angel Biscuits

Angel Biscuits are a favorite. They are easy to make, and the dough can be kept for up to three days in a covered bowl in the fridge.

• 1 package dry yeast
• ¼ cup warm water
• 2 ½ cups flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 cup sugar
• ½ cup shortening
• 1 cup buttermilk

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water; set aside. Mix the dry ingredients in the order given, cutting in the shortening as you normally do for biscuits or pie dough. Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture, and mix thoroughly. The dough is ready to refrigerate.

When it's time to make them, turn the dough out on a floured board and knead lightly. Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter, placing them in a greased pan.

Let the dough rise slightly before baking in a 400 F oven for about 12-15 minutes.
