Fake Sourdough Biscuits
These are referred to as fake sourdough biscuits, but are really refrigerator rolls. Very easy to
make, and so handy. Prep Time: approx. 20 Minutes.
Cook Time: approx. 15 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 2 Hours 30 Minutes. Makes 4 dozen rolls (48
servings).
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
2/2 cup shortening 1 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
4/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 2 cups lukewarm buttermilk
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Allow to stand until mixture is frothy. In a large bowl, whisk
together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add shortening and work until crumbly. Mix
in yeast mixture and buttermilk. Store, well covered, in a greased bowl in the refrigerator.
Don't worry if it is a little sticky; it will firm up as it chills. Dough can be stored up to 2
weeks. When ready to make rolls, take out amount needed. Turn dough out on a lightly floured
surface, and knead for 2 or 3 minutes. Roll out, and cut rolls. Place in greased muffin cups. Let
rise for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) oven for 15 minutes, or
until golden brown.
