How To Make angel biscuits

Step 1Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes.

Step 2Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture; stir just until moist. Cover and chill 1 hour.
