2 cups buttermilk
1 cake compressed yeast
2 tablespoons C. & H. sugar
2 teaspoons Morton's salt
1/4 teaspoon soda
4 cups Aristos
Never-Fail flour
2 tablespoons shortening
Soften the yeast in a
small part of the buttermilk (at room temperature). Add the sugar,
salt and soda to the rest of the buttermilk. Mix in one-half the
flour and beat until the batter is smooth, and full of bubbles. Add
melted shortening. Add rest of the flour, stirring until the dough
collects in a stiff ball. Turn onto a floured board and knead
quickly and lightly, until smooth and elastic. Roll out 1/2-inch
thick. Brush lightly with melted butter. Cut with cutter
and place 1/2-inch apart on oiled baking sheet. Set in warm place
and let rise until double in bulk (about 1 hour). Bake in moderate
oven, 375 to 400 F., for about 20 minutes. When done rush with
butter, cream or milk. These rolls answer the housewives' prayer for
a really good yeast biscuit that can be quickly made.
