Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
- Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water and set aside to activate.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oil, warm buttermilk, sugar, and dissolved yeast-water until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry flour mixture and mix until all flour is moistened and dough is soft.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
- Cut the dough into biscuits using a round cutter or glass.
- Place the biscuits on a greased cookie sheet or shallow pan.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Refrigerate leftover dough in a covered bowl for up to a week. Serve biscuits hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For lighter biscuits, be careful not to overmix the dough; mix just until the flour is moistened. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Additionally, for a hint of sweetness, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
These Heavenly Angel Biscuits are perfect served warm with butter and honey or alongside savory dishes like Baked Lamb Chops. For breakfast, try them with jam or cream cheese. They also pair beautifully with Dorothy's Fruit Cobbler for a delightful dessert experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just roll and cut the biscuits when you're ready to bake them. This will save time and ensure fresh biscuits for breakfast or any meal.
What can I use instead of cooking oil?
You can substitute cooking oil with melted butter or coconut oil for a richer flavor. This will add a delicious buttery taste to your biscuits, enhancing their overall texture and taste.
How can I adjust the recipe for a smaller batch?
To make a smaller batch, simply halve the ingredients. This will yield about 12 biscuits instead of 24. Make sure to adjust the baking time slightly, checking for doneness a few minutes earlier.
