Categories: Bread
Yield: 12 Servings

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.
