5 c. self-rising flour
1 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg. yeast
1/4 c. warm water
2 c. buttermilk

Sift dry ingredients together, dissolve yeast in water. Combine all ingredients, mix, knead. I melt butter in pan and turn the biscuits in it. Bake at 425 degrees until brown. Dough can be kept several days in refrigerator.
