Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 to 1-1/4 cups warm water (120o to 130o)

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the baking mix, sugar and yeast. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough warm water to form a soft and slightly sticky dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 3-4 times.
  2. Roll dough to 3/4-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. round biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: about 2 dozen.
