Recipe - Moms Best Raised Biscuits

1 Pkg active dry yeast
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoon Warm water
2 cup Allpurp flour
1 teaspoon EACH baking powder and salt
2 tablespoon Butter
2/3 cup 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 1/2inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2inch 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 3040 minutes).

8. Bake at 425 F. for 1015 minutes or until golden. While biscuits are
hot from the oven, rub tops with additional butter.

Yields 10 to 12 biscuits.

K.F. 02/16/96: Very good. Used buttermilk powder in milk.
