     1/4   c            Warm water
   5       c            Flour
   3       tb           Sugar

  In a small bowl combine yeast and sugar in water.  Set
  aside for 10 min. In a large bowl mix flour, sugar,
  baking powder, soda and salt. Cut in butter to form a
  crumbly mixture.  Stir in yeast mixture and
  buttermilk. Mix just enough to hold dough together.
  Roll dough 3/4 in. thick on floured surface.  Cut out
  biscuits with the top of a glass or a cutter. Prick
  tops with fork.  Freeze separately on cookie sheet.
  After biscuits are frozen, stack and wrap well.
  Before baking let rise until doubled in size. Bake at
  425F for 15 mins. on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
  Makes 3-4 dozen. Grated Cheddar cheese may be added to
  soft dough for flaky cheese biscuits.
