Angel Biscuits

4 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbl. yeast
2 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. shortening
2 tsp. warm water

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt together. Cut in shortening. Soften yeast in water, then stir to dissolve. Mix with buttermilk and combine with dry ingredients. Roll out on a pastry sheet to 1/2 in. thick and cut with biscuit cutter. Place cut biscuits on a "pammed" baking sheet...place baking sheet in cold oven...then set oven to 400 degrees. Biscuits will raise as the oven heats. Bake for 15 min. This dough may be kept in the refrigerator for several weeks...good for family reunions, kids home during the summer and just plain good eating.
