Angel Biscuits

5 c. flour
7 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
2 pckg. yeast (1 pckg is about 2 1/2 tsp.)
1/4 c. sugar
1 c. shortening (I always use butter)
2 c. buttermilk

Sift together first four ingredients. Dissolve 2 pckgs. yeast in 1/4 c. warm (about 120 deg.) water. Mix 1/4 c. sugar into flour mixture. Cut in 1 c. shortening (butter) until fine. Add yeast and 2 c. buttermilk and mix well. Cover tightly, keep in frig and use as needed. Bake in greased pan until brown at 475 for 8-10 minutes. Dough will keep for weeks in frig is tightly covered.

Bring to room temperature and it wouldn't hurt to let them rise if you wanted to wait a little before you baked them.
