Instructions: Soften yeast in 2 T. water. Stir or sift dry ingredients together in large bowl. Cut shortening in the dry ingredients like pie crust. Add buttermilk and softened yeast. Refrigerate and use as needed. Roll 1/2 inch thick on floured board or pastry cloth. Cut biscuits and bake at 400 for 15 minutes.

Dough will keep up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. To use as dinner rolls, add 1/4 c. butter along with the shortening, although these are quite rich without it.
