In a bowl combine warm milk and yeast; let stand about 5 minutes for
yeast to soften.
In a large bowl combine flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry
blender, cut in the 1/3 cup butter, shortening, or lard until pieces
are the size of small peas. Make a well in center; add yeast mixture
and eggs. Stir until all the dough is moistened. Transfer the dough
to a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until
double in size (1 to 1-1/4 hours).
Lightly grease baking sheets; set aside. Turn dough out onto a
well-floured surface. Knead 10 to 12 times. Roll dough to 1/4"
thickness. Cut dough with floured round cutters, making twenty-four
2-1/2" rounds and twenty-four 2-inch rounds. Place the larger rounds
on prepared baking sheets. Brush tops with melted butter. Top each
with a smaller round, stacking slightly off-center. Cover and let
rise in a warm place 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400F. Brush tops of biscuits with a mixture of egg
yolk and 1 teaspoon milk. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until tops are
golden. Serve warm.
