How to Make Another Angel Yeast Biscuit

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water (105-115°F).
  2. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar; let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Stir in 1 cup buttermilk and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients; stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 1 minute.
  8. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
  9. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
  10. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to 3/4-inch thickness.
  11. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch floured round biscuit cutter.
  12. Place biscuits 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
  13. Prick the tops of the biscuits with a fork. Cover and let rise again until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  14. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
  16. Serve warm with your favorite breakfast accompaniments!
