Try this angel biscuit recipe for light, fluffy biscuits that rise as much as rolls, thanks to three leavening agents: yeast, baking soda, and baking powder.
Ingredients
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- ¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ¾ cup shortening
Directions
Step 1
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl; let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Step 3
Stir buttermilk into yeast mixture until combined, then add to dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4 to 5 times.
Step 4
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut out twenty-four 2 1/2-inch-diameter circles. Place circles onto lightly greased baking sheets so they are barely touching each other. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 6
Bake biscuits in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
