Fake Sourdough Biscuits

These are referred to as fake sourdough biscuits, but are really
refrigerator rolls. Very easy to make, and so handy. Prep Time:
approx. 20 Minutes.

Cook Time: approx. 15 Minutes.
Ready in: approx. 2 Hours 30 Minutes.
Makes 4 dozen rolls (48 servings).

5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups lukewarm buttermilk

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Allow to stand until mixture is
frothy. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder,
and soda. Add shortening and work until crumbly. Mix in yeast mixture
and buttermilk. Store, well covered, in a greased bowl in the
refrigerator. Don't worry if it is a little sticky; it will firm up as it
chills. Dough
can be stored up to 2 weeks.
When ready to make rolls, take out amount needed. Turn dough out on
a lightly floured surface, and knead for 2 or 3 minutes. Roll out,
and cut rolls. Place in greased muffin cups. Let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) oven for 15
minutes, or until golden brown.
