Angel Biscuits

1. 1

   Dissolve the yeast in warm water in a small bowl, then let it sit until creamy, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse meal.

3. 3

   Stir the buttermilk into the yeast mixture until blended, then add it to the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4 to 5 times.

4. 4

   Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out twenty-four 2 1/2-inch circles. Arrange the circles on lightly greased baking sheets so they are just touching. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until nearly doubled in size, about 1 hour.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

6. 6

   Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
