Preparation

Step 1

Crumble cake of yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar.

Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and sugar. Cut in shortening. Add yeast mixture to buttermilk and mix with dry ingredients.

Knead until smooth. Roll out and cut into biscuits. Dip in butter and place in pan so that they barely touch. May be frozen at this point.
