This is my mom's recipe, and they are wonderful. They also freeze extremely well. I can't remember exactly how many this makes, so I'm guessing at the yield.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
5 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch baking soda
1 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup hot water
Directions:
1. Mix yeast and soda into flour. Blend in shortening.
2. Dissolve sugar in hot water and mix with buttermilk; heat milk and water mixture to 125 degrees.
3. Mix liquid into flour & shortening mixture and knead for 5 minutes. Let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
5. Place on a floured surface and knead lightly. Let rest for 2 minutes, then roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet.
6. Let rise again until desired thickness-at least 30 minutes. Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
