1 cup warm water
1 T yeast (I used rapid rise, but active dry should be fine.)
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups buttermilk*
4 t baking powder
2 t salt
1/4 t baking soda
6 cups flour (approximately)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water until foamy. Add sugar, oil, buttermilk, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Mix until combined. Add flour a couple cups at a time and stir with a wooden spoon, until ready to knead.
Pour dough out on a floured surface and knead for a few minutes, or until no longer sticky. Pat down until about 3/4-1 inch thick. Cut with round biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
