"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

1 tsp salt
1/2 c shortening
1/4 c warm water
1 pkg dry yeast
1 c buttermilk
Directions:
Directions:
Dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 cup of warm water and set aside. Mix the dry ingredients in the order given, cutting in the shortening as you normally do for biscuits or pie dough. Stir in the buttermilk also the water with the yeast in it. Blend thoroughly and the dough is ready to be refrigerated in a large bowl, covered, or made into biscuits.
When you are ready to work the dough, turn it out onto a floured board and knead lightly as for regular biscuits. Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter and place in a greased pan. Let the biscuits rise slightly (if the dough is cold it will take a little longer for them to rise than when first mixed). Pop into a 400º oven until lightly browned. Note:
You can mix the dough the night before.
