Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope (Original or Fast Rise) active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening, cubed
• 1-1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter, melted for brushing tops of biscuits
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 5 teaspoon baking powder
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups buttermilk

1. Mix together first 3 ingredients in a small cup or bowl. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well.

7. Using a 2-inch round cutter start cutting out biscuits.
8. Re-roll remaining scrap dough, and cut out biscuits.
9. Place dough rounds on prepared cookie sheets with sides touching. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
10. Bake in a 400 degree F. preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden in color.

TIPS: Baked biscuits maybe frozen in an airtight contain up to 3 months. When ready to use. Thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave for 3-4 seconds at a time until warm. Will taste like just baked.
