6 c. biscuit mix
1/4 c. sugar
1 pkg. dry yeast
1/2 c. shortening
1 1/2 to 2 c. warm water
1/4 c. butter, melted

Combine biscuit mix, sugar and dry yeast. Blend in shortening with a fork or pastry blender. Add warm water slowly and stir until dough leaves the sides of the bowl. Place dough on lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Knead until smooth and elastic. Roll or pat dough into 1/2 inch thickness.

Cut with cutter and place on greased baking sheet. Brush with melted butter. At this point biscuits can be frozen on the cookie sheet and then transferred to plastic bags for freezer storage. Before cooking let thaw 40 minutes before putting in oven. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
