Servings: 24

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.
