These biscuits are soft, fluffy, and perfect for any occasion.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter quickly to keep it cold.
Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture until a sticky dough forms.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly 4-6 times.
Use a gentle touch to keep the biscuits tender.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for 15 minutes.
Cover the biscuits with a clean towel to keep them warm during rising.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or as a side dish.
Brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
