List of Ingredients

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105-115ºF)
6 cups self rising flour, sifted and divided
1 cup shortening, melted and cooled to 105ºF to 115ºF
2 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
melted butter


Recipe

Combine yeast and warm water in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Combine 1 cup flour and melted shortening in a large bowl; stir in yeast mixture. Combine buttermilk, sugar, and soda. Gradually add remaining 5 cups flour to yeast mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, stirring until mixture is well blended. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; chill dough for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly 3-4 times. Pat dough to 1/2" thickness; cut with a floured 3" biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on lightly greased large baking sheets, leaving 1 inch of space between biscuits. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter. Makes 15 biscuits.
