Instructions

Place the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl and stir to combine.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender, two knives, or your clean hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the buttermilk until a stiff dough forms (it should not be sticky).
Cover the bowl lightly and allow the dough to chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours.
Dust the dough, the work surface, and your hands with flour, then tip the dough out and flatten it to a thickness of approx. 1-inch.
Use a 2-inch diameter cutter to cut out rounds, arranging them in a 9-inch diameter, parchment-lined cake pan.
Cover the unbaked biscuits lightly and allow them to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Bake the angel biscuits until golden on the tops and sides (approx. 30 to 35 minutes).
