Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
2 tablespoons warm water (105° to 115°) |
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup shortening |
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm buttermilk (105° to 115°) |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.
2. Combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, wheat flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in enough remaining all purpose flour to make a soft dough.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 4 to 5 times or until dough is smooth and elastic. Let dough rest 10 minutes.
4. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes.
