Bonnie Castle Angel Biscuits

The South is famous for its flaky biscuits, and this is one of our guests' favorite recipes. The recipe has the advantage of being able to stay as batter in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Ingredients

1 package dry yeast

2 Tablespoons warm water

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

2 cups buttermilk

Dissolve yeast in water and set aside. Combine dry ingredients and cut shortening into mix until it resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to dry ingredients. Dough will be very soft and easier to work with if it sits overnight in the fridge. Mix well, turn onto floured surface, and knead about 1 minute. (Dough will be very soft and easier to work with if it sits overnight in the fridge.) Roll or cut into biscuits. Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot with sausage or homemade jelly.
