Instructions:

Angel Biscuits

You do not need to let these rise before baking unless you have the time.

5 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 package yeast
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or shortening
2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Mix dry ingredients, then cut in butter. Dissolve yeast in 2 tablespoons warm water. To yeast, add the buttermilk. Mix in all ingredients, except butter, well. Sprinkle board with flour, knead a few times to make soft but not sticky dough; roll to 1/4 inch, then cut with biscuit cutter. Dip in melted butter and fold over. Place close together. Let rise (optional). Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Makes about 40 biscuits.
