Easy Yeast Rolls
["2 tsp. warm water", "1 pkg. dry yeast", "3 Tbsp. sugar", "2 c. buttermilk", "1 tsp. soda", "5 c. all-purpose flour", "1 Tbsp. baking powder", "1 1/2 tsp. salt", "1 c. shortening (Crisco)"]
["Combine water, yeast and sugar. Let stand 5 minutes. Combine buttermilk and soda, mixing well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Cut shortening into flour with pastry blender (or 2 forks) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine yeast mixture and flour mixture. Stir well. Turn dough onto heavily floured surface and knead 8 times. Shape into a ball. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85\u00b0) free from drafts 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. Roll dough out to 1/2-inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut 2-inch circles (or pinch off). Place rolls sides touching in 2 lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pans. Cover and let rise in warm place (45 minutes or until doubled). Bake at 450\u00b0 for 10 to 15 minutes or until desired brownness. Yields about 3 dozen."]
