Whole Wheat Angel Biscuits

• 1 package dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons warm water (105u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shortening
• 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm buttermilk (105u0b0 to 115u0b0)

1. Dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.
2. Combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, wheat flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in enough remaining all purpose flour to make a soft dough.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 4 to 5 times or until dough is smooth and elastic. Let dough rest 10 minutes.
4. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 400u0b0 for 10 to 12 minutes.
