1 pk Active dry yeast 1 ts Baking powder
1 tb Sugar 1 ts Salt
2 tb Warm water 2 tb Butter
2 c Flour, all-purpose 2/3 c Buttermilk
1. In small bowl combine yeast, sugar and water; let stand until
bubbly, about 15 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut
in butter to make a fine crumb.
3. Beat in yeast mixture and buttermilk to make a moderately stiff
dough. (Add more flour if necessary.)
4. Knead dough lightly for a few seconds on floured board.
5. Pat out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2-inch floured
biscuit cutter.
6. Arrange biscuits in a greased baking pan so they barely touch each
other; prick tops with a fork.
7. Let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 30 – 40 minutes)
8. Bake at 425 F. for 10 – 15 minutes or until golden. While
biscuits are hot from the oven, rub tops with additional butter.
