Recipe :
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons warm water (for yeast)
- 1/4 cup shortening
Instructions :
1. Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
2. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Cut in Butter and Shortening:
- Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter and shortening using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Buttermilk and Yeast:
- Pour in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough just comes together.
6. Knead and Roll:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times until it’s smooth.
- Roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
7. Cut Biscuits:
- Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet, with sides touching.
8. Allow to Rest:
- Cover the biscuits with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 20-30 minutes. This helps them rise.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
