REFRIGERATOR BISCUITS 
5 c. self-rising flour
1 c. solid vegetable shortening
1/4 c. warm water
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. buttermilk
1 pkg. dry yeast

Dissolve yeast in water and set aside. Mix the dry ingredients and cut the shortening into dry ingredients until the size of small peas. Add the milk and yeast mixture and mix well. Knead on a floured board until smooth.

Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. No rising is required before baking. Bake as many biscuits as you want when you want them. Dough will store up to two weeks (if it stays around that long) and biscuits taste better as the dough ages. Bake the biscuits on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 400 degrees until done. Make small biscuits as they will double in size while baking.

Very easy to make. Doubled and baked some right away. After a short rise (not much happened) they rose nicely in 400°F oven. 2 1/2-inch rounds cooked in about 14 minutes. Would be great with scrambled eggs for breakfast.

They are not biscuits, I realised as I had assembled the ingredients, least not in the UK anyway!
Anyway, this recipe made lovely scones, though I had never put yeast in scones, so I suppose these are bread rolls or soda bread of sorts :)

They're biscuits in the USA! What you're looking for is cookies.
