Instructions: Place the first four ingredients in a bowl, mix until blended. Cut in the shortening with pastry cutter, 2 knives or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Pour in the buttermilk, just mix until blended.

On a floured surface roll the dough out to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick and cut out with a medium-sized cutter. Place rounds on a cookie sheet or sheet pan lined with baking paper or coated with a baking spray. Scrape the dough scraps up and repeat the rolling process.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
