1 teaspoon Baking soda
2 cups Buttermilk

Dissolve the packages of yeast in the hot water. You better have a candy thermometer to check the water temperature or the biscuits will come out like rocks.
Combine dry ingredients.
Cut in butter.
Stir in milk and yeast (dissolved).
Pat or roll out with rolling pin or glass to 1 to 11⁄2 inches thick. Don't overwork the dough or the biscuits will be hard. Just pat out.

Me and my sister, Linda. Aren’t we two little angels!
