Never-Fail Yeast Biscuits image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 18 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 Tbs. vinegar added)

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 400ยบ F until light brown, 10-12 minutes.
