My mother-in-law, who was of German descent, gave me this delicious recipe for easy yeast biscuits. It's so special because it goes back in her family for generations.
Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add yeast mixture, buttermilk and oil; stir well. Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours. Punch down. Turn onto a floured surface and roll out to 1-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-in. biscuit cutter and place 2-in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes. Yield: 15 biscuits.
