Ingredients

• 5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Shortening, chilled
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to evenly blend the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a small bowl or measuring cup, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly and activated.

Step 3

Pour the buttermilk and melted butter into the yeast mixture, stirring gently.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the chilled shortening into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Gradually add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 7

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.

Step 10

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite spreads or fillings. Enjoy!
