2 c. buttermilk

(OR 2 tsp. vinegar and 2 c. milk)

5 c. four

1 ½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. baking soda

¼ c. sugar

4 teaspoon baking powder

1 pkge yeast

¼ c. warm water

¾ c. canola or olive oil

Put your package of yeast into 1/4 c. warm water and set aside.  Combine dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar) in a large bowl.  Mix with a wooden spoon.  Make a hole in the center of the mound (a ‘volcano’) and add oil, buttermilk, and your yeast/water mixture. Mix and kneed until you have a ball of dough.  Cover and let rise for 15-20 minutes.  (Or don’t! Ha!)  Using a lot of flour, roll out the dough and cut out biscuit circles.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.  You can refrigerate the dough and make biscuits to order, or toast the dough in your toaster oven! You can also freeze the dough and use on special occasions.

For cinnamon rolls, roll out the dough into an oblong piece.  put butter, sugar and cinnamon in center and fold and pinch closed.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.  Cut off a piece and enjoy!
