Ingredients:

  • 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/2 cup warm water (100o to 110o)
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour (about 22 1/2 oz)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • cooking spray

Directions:

  1. Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture; stir just until moist. Cover and chill 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 450°.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured surface; knead lightly 5 times. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush the melted butter over the biscuit tops. Bake at 450° for 12 minutes or until golden.
