Mother's Good Biscuits

This is Grandma Goldie's biscuit recipe, handed down to me by my grandmother (Rose) and great-aunt Lois.

1/2 cup warm water
1 pkg. yeast
1/2 cup shortening (melted)
4 1/2 cups four
4 tsp. baking powder
1/3 tsp. soda
2 cups buttermilk
2 tsp salt

Mix the night before, cover and put in the refrigerator.  Dough will keep good for 24-hrs.

Roll out on floured surface and cut.  Bake at 350F for 12-15 min.

Welcome to our family cookbook!

Greetings one and all!

A few years ago my family decided to update the family cookbook.  The tasked proved difficult; collecting recipes

For the next few weeks, I'll be posting recipes from the family that I've collected the last few years.  I hope that any family that reads the blog will feel free to send me more to post.  I want to also try out the recipes and write a short review.  Others can put their comments as well.
