Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable shortening, chilled , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients together with a fork.
Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and add buttermilk. Quickly fold dry ingredients into buttermilk with your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Turn dough out onto floured surface. Gently fold the dough over itself 3 or 4 times to create layers. Roll dough out to 3/4-inch thick. Cut with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Transfer dough rounds to a sheet pan. Gather scraps and repeat. Make a dimple in the center to help the top rise evenly. Brush with butter.
Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 400°F oven until golden brown.
