This is a recipe from my mother, Rhae House, that produces wonderful
biscuits.
Sift all dry ingredients into bowl, work in shortening. Add buttermilk,
then yeast. Knead gently on floured board, roll and pinch off small ball
or cut. Melt margarine or butter in biscuit pan. Turn biscuits in butter,
when placed in pan. Bake biscuits at once at 350 degrees until brown, or
store in refrigerator and cook as needed.
This makes a big batch, and stays good in refrigerator up to a week.
