Grandma Brown's 1-2-3 Baking Powder Biscuits

My Grandma makes the BEST baking powder biscuits I have ever tasted... She calls her recipe "Fool-proof biscuits" because they are so easy that you just can't mess it up! Try them, and you'll never use another biscuit recipe again!


INGREDIENTS

1 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
sugar (at least 2 tbs., more if you like)
butter flavored shortening

DIRECTIONS

Place sugar and yeast in the water, stir till dissolved, and set aside.

Combine remaining ingredients till you have a granulated powder.

Stir in yeast mixture until just moistened.

Form biscuits and drop into a well oiled pan, turning biscuits over so that the tops are oiled (this step creates that golden top).

Walk out of your kitchen, and don't come back for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Bake biscuits till golden brown.
