Yeast Biscuits

Here is yet another great bread recipe from Mom's collection. Mom recalls making these biscuits when we were kids, probably because they are so easy to make and very delicious. The recipe is quite basic, so the resulting biscuits are very versatile and can accompany any meal.

These biscuits came out a bit sturdier than standard biscuits, and so they were great for sandwiches. Because the recipe uses yeast and requires time for a rise, these biscuits do take longer to make than most biscuits. But with only one rise, they don't take as long as many bread recipes. So give these easy biscuits a try.

Yeast Biscuits 

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 package dry yeast
• 3/4 cup lukewarm water 
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. butter, melted

Sift flour, sugar and salt together. Dissolve yeast in water. Add the yeast to the dry ingredients with the butter. Mix thoroughly. Turn out on a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Roll to one-half inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Place on baking sheet and let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
