Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast:

    • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

    🥵 Make sure to use warm (not hot!) water to activate the yeast without killing it.

  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, sift together 5 cups of self-rising flour and baking soda. Sprinkle the sugar over the flour mixture.

  3. Cut in the Shortening:

    • Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Add the yeast mixture and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.

  5. Knead the Dough:

    • Sprinkle about ½ cup of flour on a clean pastry board. Dump the dough onto the board and knead lightly until smooth and cohesive, taking care not to over-knead.

    🙌 The key here is to handle the dough gently, as we want to preserve that fluffy texture!

  6. Roll and Cut:

    • Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick and use a biscuit cutter to shape your biscuits.

  7. Bake:

    • Place the biscuits in greased pans (they don’t have to rise) and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

    🔍 Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes—every oven is different!
