Angel Biscuits Recipe

In a dish, combine the yeast packet with 1 tablespoon sugar, and all of the warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast is foamy.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.

Use a pastry blender or 2 butter knives to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the texture is crumbly.

Combine the yeast mixture with the buttermilk. Then, add it to the flour mixture and stir to combine.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Then, fold it in half 3-4 times, pressing down to flatten after each time.

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a 1-inch thickness.

Use a round cookie cutter or the opening of a glass to cut out about 24 rounds.

Place the biscuits in an oven-safe skillet or on a baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let them rest for 1 hour.

Towards the end of the rest time, preheat the oven to 400°F.

Brush the biscuits with the melted butter.

Bake for 14-16 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown.

Brush the biscuits with any leftover melted butter before serving.
