1 pkg. yeast (mix in 1/4 c. lukewarm water)
1/4 c. sugar (less, if desired)
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. buttermilk
3/4 c. shortening
5 c. flour (add more if dough is too soft)
1 tsp. salt

Sift flour, add dry ingredients of soda, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add shortening, work into dry ingredients. Then add buttermilk and dissolved yeast mixture. Stir into a soft dough. Roll out and cut desired size. Bake at 425 degrees.
