--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6               cups  buttermilk baking mix
      1/4           cup  sugar
   2 1/4            tsp  active dry yeast -- (1/4 oz)
      1/3           cup  shortening
   1                  C  warm water -- (120 to 130F)  (to 1 1/4C)
      1/4           cup  butter -- melted
I usually used a glass as a cutter so the biscuits are bigger than 
average size, and I always baked some extras to send home with the 
kids. They liked to split them and fill them with cheese or peanut 
butter and strawberry jam.
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Serving size: 1 biscuit
In a large bowl, combine the baking mix, sugar and yeast. Cut in 
shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough warm 
water to form a soft and slightly sticky dough. Turn onto a floured 
surface; knead gently 3-4 times.
Roll dough to 3/4" thickness; cut with a 2 1/2" round biscuit cutter. 
Place on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake 
at 400F until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
