   1       pk           Dry yeast
   2       tb           Water -- warm (105 to 115°F)
   2       c            Buttermilk

     3/4   c            Sugar
   1       c            Shortening

  Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir yeast mixture into buttermilk;
  mix well, and set aside.
  
  Combine flour and sugar; cut in shortening until mixture resembles
  coarse meal. Add buttermilk mixture; stir until dry ingredients are
  moistened. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. Or
  cover bowl tightly, and store in refrigerator until needed. (Dough
  may be stored up to 3 days.)
  
  Punch dough down; turn dough out on a lightly floured surface.
  Knead lightly 3 or 4 times.
  
  Roll dough to 1/2" thickness; cut with a 2" biscuit cutter. Place
  biscuits on lightly greased baking sheets; bake at 450°F for 10 to
  12 minutes or until lightly browned.
