    Categories: Biscuits
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1/2 c Water; warm
    2 1/4 ts Active dry yeast
    3 1/4 tb Granulated sugar
    5 c All-purpose flour
    1 tb Baking powder
    1 ts Baking soda
    1/2 c Unsalted butter
    1/2 c Shortening
    1/4 c Butter; melted
    2 c Buttermilk

    Stir the yeast and 1 ts sugar in the warm water. Let stand for 5
    minutes.

    In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients, including remaining
    sugar. Cut in the butter and shortening with two forks or a pastry
    blender until texture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture. Stir until dry
    ingredients are moistened. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least
    2 hours.

    Preheat oven to 400?F. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface
    and knead three to four times. Gently roll into a 1/2"-thick circle
    and then fold in half. Repeat rolling to 1/2"-thickness and cut with
    2" round cutter. Place rounds with sides touching in a 10 to 12"
    cast-iron skillet. Brush biscuits with 2 tb melted butter.

    Bake in preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush baked
    biscuits with remaining melted butter.
