In a small bowl, mix sugar with water, add yeast and stir to dissolve. (Let this sit for 5 minutes to see if it gets foamy so you know the yeast is activated.) Stir flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening to a fine crumb stage. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture; mix to a moderately stiff dough. Knead lightly and roll to ½ inch thickness. Cut into 12 biscuits. Arrange in a greased baking pan so biscuits barely touch each other; prick tops with a fork, and brush with melted margarine. Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in bulk, about 30 or 40 minutes. Bake in a hot oven (425°) for 10 to 15 minutes.
