I make these yeast biscuits, and my husband says they're my version of Sister Shubert rolls. Whaaaaat?! Score! So easy, too!

Hi Margaret,
Check the date on your package of yeast. If it doesn't foam while dissolving in the first 5 minutes, discard the inactive yeast and buy new yeast.
Make sure that the water you dissolve your yeast in is not too hot (110°F-115°F). For best results, use an instant read thermometer. Put the rising bread in a warm, draft-free place while it rises.
Hope this helps.

I have been searching for years for the best yeast biscuits to add to my baking list. These are definitely the best and easiest!! Can't rave enough -- so quick and easy to make, and always good results. I use melted butter or margarine instead of shortening, and add a small amount of sugar to the water and yeast -- when it foams -- it's ready to use. These freeze so well, and reheat in the microwave. I keep a supply in zip-lock bags in freezer ready to go!
