How to Make Ranch Biscuits
- In a large bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold shortening using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the dissolved yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Stir in 1 cup buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps if desired.
- Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Brush the tops of the warm biscuits with 2 tablespoons of melted butter for extra flavor.
