HELOISE'S ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside.
• Mix the dry ingredients (in the above order) in a bowl, and then cut in the shortening as you would for a pie crust. When it looks grainy or like little beads, it's time to stir in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly but don't overmix.
• The dough is ready to use, or it can be refrigerated in a covered bowl for later.
• When ready to make biscuits, place dough on a well-floured counter or board and knead lightly.
• Roll out (don't overroll or work the dough) and cut with a biscuit cutter.
• Place the biscuits on a greased pan and let rise slightly--this is an important step, especially if you have refrigerated dough.
• Then bake in a 400-degree oven 12-15 minutes.

LORETTA LYNN'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl mix the flour, shortening, and salt together.
• Work in shortening with a fork until it looks like meal.
• Add in just enough buttermilk to make a nice stiff dough. If it looks too sticky, add just a little more flour, but do not overwork the dough. Touch it as little as possible.
• Roll out onto a floured board 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a floured coffee cup or biscuit cutter. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake until golden brown. Remove from the oven and top each with a pat of butter.
