1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water (110~ to 115~)
1/2 c. butter
1 egg
1/4 c. sugar
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. boiling water

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat butter, egg and sugar. Add flour, salt and boiling water; mix well. Refrigerate dough overnight or until well chilled.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough to 3/4-inch thickness and cut into biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut again until all dough is used. Let biscuits rise 1 1/2 to 2 hours and bake until golden brown, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
