Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let it stand until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add buttermilk to the yeast mixture and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut shortening and butter into dry ingredients with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse meal.
Add the yeast mixture to the crumb mixture. Stir until well moistened.
Place dough out onto a lightly floured board. Turn and gently knead the dough just until it comes together and appears smooth. It shouldn't take more than one minute.
At this point, you can either cover the bowl and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
When ready to use, roll the dough out and cut with a biscuit cutter or form balls with your hands. The dough should be about ½- inch thick.

Tips &
Use cold ingredients. The butter and shortening should be very cold when you cut them into the dry ingredients. This will help to create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
If you don’t have buttermilk, make your own. Stir a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar into a cup of milk.
The amount of flour you need may vary depending on your climate, altitude, and type of flour. Adjust the amount to your preferences.

I am going to try this! Would love to know it the dough can be frozen before baking for later use?
