Instructions: Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar and baking soda. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in yeast mixture and buttermilk; mix well. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly a few times.

Roll to a 1/2" thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

* = 2 1/4 tsp. yeast equals 1 packet or cube

Note: Can freeze rolls in freezer bags and thaw as needed.

Makes: 4 dozen
