Mom' Biscuits

1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 Tablespoon Warm water
2 Cup Flour, all-purpose
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoon Butter
2/3 Cup Buttermilk
.
1. In small bowl combine yeast, sugar and water; let stand until bubbly, 
about 15 minutes. 

2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in 
butter to make a fine crumb. 

3. Beat in yeast mixture and buttermilk to make a moderately stiff dough. 
(Add more flour if necessary.) 

4. Knead dough lightly for a few seconds on floured board. 

5. Pat out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2-inch floured biscuit 
cutter. 

6. Arrange biscuits in a greased baking pan so they barely touch each other; 
prick tops with a fork. 

7. Let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 30 - 40 minutes) 

8. Bake at 425 F. for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden. While biscuits are 
hot from the oven, rub tops with additional butter.
