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.
