Directions: |
Directions:Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. Sift all dry
ingredients into bowl. (Flo says this isn't necessary, but I do it anyway.) Cut in shortening. (Do this with your hands until ALL the lumps are out and it is the texture of cornmeal.) Add yeast and buttermilk and knead until round. Roll out with rolling pin and cut with biscuit cutter. Put biscuits on cookie sheet and let them rise for 1/2 hour before baking. Bake about 10-12 minutes until brown.
(*Optional: Take a softened stick of butter or melted butter and a brush and butter the tops of the biscuits before baking. This will make them more golden brown, but these biscuits don't get very brown, so judge by the bottoms when you are checking to see if they are done.) |

Personal
Notes: Testing has shown that if you need to throw one across the room to someone at another table, they fly very accurately and it doesn't harm the biscuit, unless you are throwing to someone who can't catch.
