I love this recipe. A yeast recipe that doesn't need to rise for hours. I have made it and left it in the refrigerator for hours before I baked them.
Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1/2 cup warm water
5 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups low fat butter milk ( i use skim milk with 1 tsp lemon in it)
cooking spray
1 tbsp butter, melted
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water, let stand 5 minutes.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, level with a knife. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal
4. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture; stir just until moist.
5. Cover and chill 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
7. Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured surface; knead lightly 5 times.
8. Toll dough out and cut into biscuit shapes.
9. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
10. Brush melted butter over the tops
11. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
