Fake Sourdough Biscuits recipe

4 servings

5 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup shortening

1 teaspoon salt

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

2 cups lukewarm buttermilk

Dissolve yeast in warm water.

Allow to stand until mixture is frothy.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and soda.

Add shortening and work until crumbly.

Mix in yeast mixture and buttermilk.

Store, well covered, in a greased bowl in the refrigerator.

Don't worry if it is a little sticky; it will firm up as it chills.

Dough can be stored up to 2 weeks.

When ready to make rolls, take out amount needed.

Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead for 2 or 3 minutes.

Roll out, and cut rolls.

Place in greased muffin cups.

Let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
