Angel Biscuits

2 pkg dry yeast

3-4 tbs warm water

5 C. all purpose flour

3-6 tbs sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 C. shortening

2 C. buttermilk

Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and stir into yeast mixture. Add buttermilk to make a soft dough that can be handled. Roll on floured board. Cut with 4 inch biscuit cutter (anything will do), and brush tops with melted butter or margarine. Fold in half and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake in pre-heated 400 degrees oven for 10-20 minutes or until golden brown. To pre-bake, bake for 5-8 minutes (just until they set up) but do not brown. Cool and place in freezer bags and freeze until needed.
