Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm buttermilk and water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. With processor on, slowly add yeast mixture through food chute; process until dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead in cranberries. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter into 20 biscuits.

Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 20 minutes or until puffy.

NOTES : The biscuits are a breeze to make in the food processor; or you can make them by hand.
