1 package dry yeast, 4 cups white flour, 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder (use 4 teaspoon baking powder with whole wheat flour), 2 cups buttermilk, 2 tablespoons lukewarm water, 1 teaspoons baking soda, 4 tablespoons granular sugar, 1 cup shortening, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Dissolve yeast in lukewarm. Sift together dry ingredients; cut in shortening. Add yeast and buttermilk to dry mixture. Knead dough until it holds together; roll dough to 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Cut with biscuits cutter and fold in half. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
Dough may be chilled before baking or frozen for later use. I make them and then put them on a pan and cover. Put in the refrigerator overnight, and bake for breakfast. I usually double the recipe. Yeild: 20 regular size biscuits.

Homemade Donuts

For a fun, lazy morning, make homemade donuts with the kids.
3 cans of canned biscuits without butter bits (cheapest and plain are the best), and hot grease (I use half vegetable oil and olive oil).
Pop the biscuits out of the can and cut out the centers. Fry in hot grease 45 seconds per side.
For easy clean-up toss your donuts with either powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Put sugar in a small paper bag and gently shake. Make sure the donuts are hot while applying sugar, this makes the sugar stick. Don’t forget to fry the donut holes!
