YEAST BISCUITS
Wonderful from-scratch yeast biscuits-golden and crusty outside and tender inside-were a staple Mom prepared regularly when I was growing up. They are perfect for sopping up gravy from bowls of beef stew and are also great for sandwiches.

WHOLE WHEAT YEAST RISEN BISCUITS
I made these this morning to eat with the pear butter I made last night. Delicious! I love making yeast breads. This recipe is great because there is only 30 minutes rising time. Takes longer than regular biscuits, but is still quick enough to do for breakfast. I may experiment in the future to see how much whole wheat flour I...

Steps:
- 1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and set aside while preparing flour mix.
- 2. Stir/sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 3. Stir the melted butter into the buttermilk until smooth.
- 4. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour the yeast and the buttermilk mixture into the well. Stir together with a rubber spatula until it forms a soft sticky ball of dough.
- 5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough about 12 - 15 strokes, working in a minimal amount of extra flour.
- 6. Roll dough out 1/2" thick. Cut little biscuits with a small 2" cutter, and arrange with sides touching on a baking stone or biscuit pan. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
- 7. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. When biscuits have risen for 30 minutes, bake them about 14 - 17 minutes, until browned on top. May brush with melted butter or cream when done for extremely soft tops.
VEGAN NUTRITIONAL YEAST (NOOCH) CHEEZY BISCUITS
These came from my Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula cookbook that uses their brand of nutritional yeast. Theirs is good but I use NOW brand, other flake nooch brands will work too. These are a delightful vegan treat to have with soups, vegan gravies, etc. Any kind of non-dairy milk will work-- just under 1 cup, but whole-wheat pastry flour is a must instead of regular whole-wheat flour.

Steps:
- Pour the soymilk, almond milk, etc. into a glass measuring cup and stir in the lemon juice. Let it rest at room temp for 10 minutes to sour.
- Place the flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, chili and garlic powders, and salt into a medium mixing bowl and stir them together.
- Pour the oil into the dry ingredient mix, and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly.
- Using a fork, stir in just enough of the soured non-dairy milk so the dough can come together and can form into a large ball-- too much milk will make the dough sticky but not enough will make the biscuits dry.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead it gently until it is smooth (about 25-30 times.) Gently form it into a ball.
- Reflour the work surface and roll the dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet.
- Cut the dough with a floured biscuit cutter-- the book recommends a 2.5" one but I find that using an empty can works, and I have heart-shaped biscuit cutters in both small, regular 2.5", and large size.
- Place the biscuits on a dry baking sheet or sil-pat as soon as they are cut. Arrange them close together if you want soft sides, but at least 1 inch apart for crustier sides.
- Bake at 400F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. I'd recommend about 12-13 minutes for smaller biscuits and closer to 18 for bigger biscuits.
NEVER-FAIL YEAST BISCUITS
A high-rising yeast biscuit that still tastes like a baking powder one. If I want biscuits for breakfast, I make up the batter the night before and let it rest in the bowl, covered, on the counter overnight. In the morning, I just flop it out on a floured surface, fold it a few times, pat it out, cut and bake.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in water, set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients in order given, then cut in shortening until it's the size of small beans.
- Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture. Dough will be very sticky.
- Cover bowl with towel and let sit until ready to use. (At least 1 hour, but it is fine if it sits for a couple hours.)
- Scrape out onto well floured board. Flip the dough over and knead or fold lightly (4-6 times).
- Roll out about 1/2" thickness and cut with sharp biscuit cutter. (Cutting with a dull cutter or water glass "seals" the dough and won't let the biscuit rise as they should.)
- Place on lightly greased baking sheet and let raise slightly (10-30 minutes).
- Bake at 400º F until light brown, 10-12 minutes.

KINGSBYS' NO YEAST BISCUITS
This is my adaption to "mayo-biscuits". They turned out a tad flat for me on first try, but with some minor adjustments, they were awesome. You couldn't even tell that they hadn't any yeast in them!

Steps:
- Grease a muffin pan and pre-heat the oven at 350.
- Combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium-large bowl. Add the milk, mayo, and egg. Mix well.
- Fill the greased muffin tins 1/4-1/2 full and bake for 12-25 minutes at 350 until they are golden-brown on the outside and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Serve with butter or jam.
Tips:
- To ensure light and fluffy biscuits, use cold butter and buttermilk. The coldness of the butter will create pockets of steam during baking, resulting in a flaky texture. Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps to tenderize the dough.
- Work the dough as little as possible. Overworking the dough will develop the gluten and make the biscuits tough. Use a gentle touch when mixing and rolling out the dough.
- Cut the biscuits straight down with a sharp knife. Jagged edges will make the biscuits spread more in the oven.
- Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet. This will help them to rise evenly and create a tender crumb.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Yeast biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors. With a few simple tips, you can create light, fluffy, and flaky biscuits that will be the hit of your next meal.
