ingredients

2 packages (.25 ounce size) dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105-110 degrees F)
2 cups buttermilk
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup shortening or unsalted butter

directions

Combine yeast and warm water; let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly. Add buttermilk and set aside.

Combine dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture gradually, gently combining with a fork.

Turn dough out onto a floured board (surface) and knead lightly 4 or 5 times. Roll dough to 1/2" thickness, cut and place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

To freeze, bake only 6 minutes; cool, freeze and wrap air tight. Finish baking on a greased baking sheet at 450 degrees for about 6 more minutes, or until browned.

  1. Victoria REVIEW:

    My mother gave me this recipe many years ago and I lost it. Thank you for bringing it back to me. Instead of using tools to cut and mix, I used my hands. It's messy, but the results are the same. That's the way my mom told me to do it. I love feeling the dough form. I prefer to use butter rather than shortening. Thanks again!
