How to Make Angel Flake Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Stir in 1/2 cup vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon active dry yeast.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1 minute.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let rise at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for later use.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut out biscuits.
- Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
