ANGEL BISCUITS 2 or 3 Tbsp. sugar 6 c. self-rising flour 1 c. shortening 1 pkg. active dry yeast 1/4 c. warm water 2 c. buttermilk Sift flour and sugar together. Cut in shortening. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (water should be lukewarm or just barely warm to the touch). Add yeast, water and buttermilk to flour-shortening mixture and mix well. (It does well when you stir it up with a spoon.) You can store dough in refrigerator until needed. Roll out amount of dough desired and cut into biscuits. Place on greased cookie sheet and let rise 1 hour before baking. Cover with towel and set on top of stove or other warm place to rise. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place biscuits in oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. As soon as biscuits are done, brush tops with butter and serve. After the dough has risen and is cut into biscuits, you may place the biscuits on paper plates, wrap well and freeze. Then just remove from freezer, thaw and bake as usual.
