Categories: Biscuit Machine
Yield: 24 Biscuits
| 1 | tb | Yeast |
| 2 | tb | Water; warm |
| 1 | tb | Sugar |
| 2 1/2 | c | Flour |
| 1/2 | ts | Baking powder |
| 1/2 | ts | Baking soda |
| 1/2 | ts | Salt |

In small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; stir in sugar. In large bowl,
combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Using pastry
blender or two knives, cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture
resembles coarse cornmeal. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture to dry
ingredients; stir until soft dough forms. Turn onto lightly floured
surface and knead 4 minutes, until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Place
in large bowl sprayed with cooking spray, turning once to coat top of
dough. Cover and let rise in warm place (80-85 degrees F) 1 to 1-1/2
hours, until doubles in size. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and
punch down. Roll out dough to 1/2" thickness; use 2" diameter biscuit
cutter to cut out biscuits. Place biscuits 1" apart on ungreased baking
sheet. Spray tops with cooking spray, cover, and let rise in warm place
30-45 minutes, until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 400 F and bake 12-15
minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
