5 C flour
3 T sugar
3 t baking powder
1 t soda
1 t salt
¾ C Crisco
1 pkg dry yeast
½ C warm water
2 C buttermilk

Combine dry ingredients.  Dissolve yeast in warm water.  But shortening in dry ingredients.  Add yeast mixture and buttermilk.  Stir in to dry ingredients until well moistened.  Cover and chill.  Dough will keep in refrigerator for several days.  Roll out and cut with biscuit cutter.  May need more flour to handle.  Place on slightly greased (non-stick food spray is fine) baking sheet.  Put a little melted margarine on top of each (back of spoon or fingers).  Let rise for about ½ hour or longer.  Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes or until browned.  Makes 4 dozen or depends on thickness of dough.  Do not use a knife to separate hot biscuits—use fork.
