Over the years 
Denver biscuits are light fluffy biscuits that use yeast to help them raise. This recipe is from the archives of my grandmother, Ethel Eynard, Jefferson City, MO. 1950. My grandmother knew all about biscuit making, these denver biscuits have yeast inside of them, and the Denver biscuits get their name from being so high. Enjoy some Denver biscuits today.
