Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold butter -- *
1 cup buttermilk -- * see note

Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set it aside. Put all the other dry ingre
dients, in the order that they are listed, in a bowl and mix. Then cut the but
ter into the mixture as you would for pie dough.

Pour the buttermilk and the yeast mixture in the bowl with the other ingredient
s, blending well but not overbeating.

Refridgerate until needed, then warm to room temperature to allow it to rise.

When you are ready, gently roll out the dough on a lightly floured board and cu
t, using a biscuit cutter or a small glass to cut our biscuits. Put them on a
greased pan and let them rise a bit (10 to 15 minutes) before popping them in a
n oven heated to 400ø for 12 to 15 minutes.

*For buttermilk I always substitute: 1 tablespoon of vinegar into a cup of ordi
nary milk and bring to room temp in the microwave. Works great!

*The original recipe calls for shortening but I don't use it.
