Angel Biscuits

1. Mix the water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast together in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar.

3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the buttermilk, canola oil, and yeast mixture and mix well.

4. From here the dough can be stored in the fridge for about two weeks. It will need to be punched down a bit everyday.

To bake the biscuits:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Flour your working surface and pat out the amount of dough you want to bake. Cut out with a biscuit cutter.

3. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 1.5 inches apart.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Serve warm with butter and cheese, or jam.

Note: you can substitute sour milk for the buttermilk by adding about 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for around 5 minutes.
