1 pk Active dry yeast

1 tb Sugar

2 tb Warm water

2 c Flour, all-purpose

1 ts Baking powder

1 ts Salt

2 tb Butter

2/3 c Buttermilk

1. In small bowl combine yeast, sugar and water; let stand until bubbly, about 15 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter to make a fine

crumb. 3. Beat in yeast mixture and buttermilk to make a moderately stiff dough. (Add more

flour if necessary.) 4. Knead dough lightly for a few seconds on floured board. 5. Pat out to

1/2 inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter. 6. Arrange biscuits in a

greased baking pan so they barely touch each other; prick tops with a fork. 7. Let rise in a

warm place until doubled (about 30 - 40 minutes) 8. Bake at 425 F. for 10 - 15 minutes or

until golden. While biscuits are hot from the oven, rub tops with additional butter. Original
