Angel Biscuits

We have been baking out of John Besh's 'My Family Table' cookbook, and these biscuits are marvelous--you can freeze them the next morning and bake them anytime you want--added bonus~ * 1 package active dry yeast * 5 cups all-purpose flour * 1/4 cup sugar * 2 tablespoons baking powder * 11/2 teaspoons salt * 2 cups buttermilk * 1 cup (2 sticks) butter 1. Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk and dissolved yeast and mix well. Using a pastry knife, cut the butter into the mixture. 2. Since this makes a light, fairly wet dough, sprinkle 1?2 cup of flour on the counter before you roll out the dough. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Fold the two sides in, making a triple layer of dough. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles or squares. Place on a nonstick baking sheet, cover loosely, and refrigerate overnight. 3. The next morning, preheat the oven to 400 degree. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
