| Sift dry ingredients. Add shortening and work dough with fingers or pastry blender as for pie crust.
Add yeast, mixed with 1/2 c lukewarm water, and thoroughly dissolved according to directions. Add buttermilk and knead with hands,
only until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Put dough in bowl; cover tightly to avoid drying out, and set in refrigerator until
ready to use. Dough can be used at once, but is better if left in refrigerator overnight, or until well chilled, before handling.
Refrigerated dough takes longer to rise than dough at room temperature; the baking period is the same. You may make bread, rolls,
or coffee cakes with this dough. Source: Betty Slavin |
