ANGEL BISCUITS (HINTS FROM HELOISE'S RECIPE)
I use this recipe for pizza dough as well, and wil work it a bit more if using for that. they always come out better if frozen or chilled when put in to bake as it gives less chance for lard or shortening to melt = flakier

Steps:
- 1. mix yeast and warm water in separate bowl. do not use water over 110 degs, or it will kill yeast.
- 2. in large separate bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
- 3. cut in lard or shortening until pieces are very small
- 4. stir in buttermilk and yeast mixture. Either refrigerate dough, or proceed to knead lightly on floured board and roll to 3/4" and cut with a floured biscuit cutter or glass.
- 5. place in greased pan. Some people like to baste with butter, but as much as I love butter, I don't do this. Let rise for a few minutes.
- 6. Bake at 400 degs Fahrenheit until light brown, about 12 minutes.
- 7. Serve with gravy, or buttered with honey or jam, or with a slab of ham or sausage and cheddar cheese...or just enjoy plain..

I first received a sample of these light, wonderful angel biscuits, along with the recipe, from an elderly gentleman friend. I now bake them often as a Saturday-morning treat, served with butter and honey. They're perfect with sausage gravy, too! -Faye Hintz, Springfield, Missouri

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients (in the above order) in a bowl, and then cut in the shortening as you would for a pie crust. When it looks grainy or like little beads, it's time to stir in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly but don't overmix.
- The dough is ready to use, or it can be refrigerated in a covered bowl for later.
- When ready to make biscuits, place dough on a well-floured counter or board and knead lightly.
- Roll out (don't overroll or work the dough) and cut with a biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits on a greased pan and let rise slightly--this is an important step, especially if you have refrigerated dough.
- Then bake in a 400-degree oven 12-15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter will create steam in the oven and help the biscuits rise. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before grating it.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
- Roll out the dough to the correct thickness: If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense. If the dough is too thin, the biscuits will be flat. The ideal thickness is 1/2-inch.
- Cut the biscuits out with a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts. This will help the biscuits rise evenly.
- Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet: This will help them rise up and form tall, fluffy biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaked biscuits will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown on top.
Conclusion:
Angel biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be served plain, or they can be topped with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam. With a few simple tips, you can make angel biscuits that are light, fluffy, and perfect for any occasion.
