first combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda) in a large bowl.
Then add the butter flavored shortening. Use a pastry blender a fork to work the shortening into the dry ingredients. Then add the yeast. Now grate the frozen butter into the flour.
Next, add the buttermilk and add to the flour mixture and stir together just until combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently mold into a ball.
Next, press the dough with your hands into a rectangle that is about 1/2 inch thick.
Fold the dough into thirds, like a brochure.
Repeat that process 4-5 more times, pressing the dough down to 1/2 inch thick and then folding it into thirds.
Roll or press the dough just 3/4 inch thick and use biscuits cutters to cut into desired sizes.
Place biscuits on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or in a well greased cast iron skillet.
Cover and set aside while you preheat your oven to 425°
Before placing in the oven brush tops with soften butter and bake for 18-23 minutes at 425° until golden brown.
When they are fresh out the oven brush them again with more softened butter.
Don’t be afraid to get the butter down in on the sides.
drizzle them with honey and use your pastry brush to spread the honey all around the biscuits.
