1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup warm
water (105 degrees to 115 degrees F.). Let stand until yeast foams, about 5 minutes.

remaining piece of dough on lightly floured surface. With floured rolling pin, roll dough
to 1/4-inch thickness. With large (about 5 inches) or small (about 2 inches) cookie cutter,
such as bone* or mailman, cut out as many biscuits as possible, reserving trimmings.
With spatula, transfer biscuits to large ungreased cookie sheet. Reroll trimmings and cut
more biscuits. Repeat with remaining dough.

biscuits in oven 1 hour to dry out.
