1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast 1/4 c. warm water 1 Tbsp. honey 2 1/2 c. sifted flour 2 Tbsp. sugar 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1/3 c. vegetable shortening 1 c. buttermilk Let the yeast soak in a mixture of the water and honey. Meanwhile, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir just until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly, for 30 seconds at the most, and place in a greased bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 days. When ready to bake, roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a lightly floured board. Cut in rounds and place about 1/2-inch apart on a baking sheet sprayed with vegetable oil. Bake at 400 degrees until golden, about 12 minutes. Serve hot. Makes 2 dozen large biscuits.
