Angel Biscuits


The men will run to the breakfast table for these light, fluffy biscuits. This is an interesting mix of a normal biscuit, and a yeast roll. Very fast to make, and almost as good as dinner rolls when you are in a hurry.

1 pkg dry yeast (1 Tbs)
1/4 cup warm water
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/8 cup sugar (2 Tbs)
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Let the yeast dissolve in warm water and set aside. Mix all the dry ingredients together in the order listed. Cut the shortening into dry mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the buttermilk and yeast. Throughly blend. The dough can be refrigerated or can be kneaded lightly (dough is sticky) After removing from refrigerator, let it rest at room temperature to allow to rise. Roll out on floured surface (or between wax paper sheets) Cut out with biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Place biscuits on greased baking sheet and let rise a little before baking. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. (If you like biscuits and gravy - this is a good recipe to use)
