- In large bowl, stir together 5 c. flour, baking pwdr, salt, baking soda and sugar. Cut butter and shortening into dry ingredients till crumbly and well distributed.
- In small bowl, sprinkle dry yeast over hot water and stir briefly. Allow to dissolve and swell, 6 to 8 min. Add in yeast and buttermilk to dry ingredients and toss with fork to blend and moisten, creating a soft dough. Cover bowl and chill at least 8 hrs or possibly overnight (dough can be kept in refrigerator 1 to 2 weeks).
- To bake a few biscuits at a time, remove portion of dough. On lightly floured work surface, roll dough to thickness of 1 inch. Cut into similar-size rounds, wedges or possibly squares with knife or possibly biscuit cutter.
- Brush generously with lowfat milk. Place on baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees till lightly browned on top, 12 to 15 min.
- This recipe yields 24 (2 1/2-inch) biscuits.
- Comments: A combination of leaveners - yeast, baking pwdr and soda - makes these favorite Southern biscuits extra light. Traditionally, a big batch is made and kept refrigerated. Portions are cut off as required to ensure a couple of baskets of fresh, piping warm, flaky little breads. This same dough, rolled thin or possibly simply hand stretched, then fried in extra virgin olive oil or possibly slapped on an open grill, produces tender-chewy, absolutely incredible flat breads (similar to Indian naans). Great for rolling around turkey leftovers.
