Description
Part soft yeast roll, part tender biscuit, these biscuits are a unique composite. Sometimes called Bride's Biscuits (because even a new bride was supposed to be able to make them easily) or Angel Biscuits (because they're light as air), they include both yeast and baking powder, for a guaranteed rise. Though they don't rise high like Southern biscuits do, they're nevertheless soft, airy biscuits, perfect for splitting in half and filling with a pat of butter or a slice of ham.Editor's note: This recipe was previously titled "Fluffy Biscuits." We've updated the name to Yeast-Raised Angel Biscuits to better reflect its origins.
