Mystery Biscuits You know these biscuits...you've eaten them at a well-known fast-food restaurant for years. 1 package active dry yeast Combine yeast and warm water in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Combine 1 cup flour and melted shortening in a large bowl; stir in yeast mixture. Combine buttermilk, sugar and soda. Gradually add remaining 5 cups flour to yeast mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, stirring until mixture is well blended. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; chill dough for 2 hours.

Place biscuits on lightly greased large baking sheets, leaving 1 inch of space between biscuits. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter.
