Preheat the oven to 500° F and lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Measure the flour into a large bowl and cut the shortening into the flour with a pastry blender or two forks. The crumbs should be about pea-size.
Slowly incorporate the buttermilk until everything is just combined. Don't overwork the mixture. The dough will be wet and sticky. Working with well-floured hands scoop up about ⅓ to ¼ cup of the dough and form the dough into a ball with no visible cracks. You may have to dust some additional flour over the ball to make it easier to roll. Gently flatten the dough until it is about ¾ inch thick and place it one the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough.
Bake for 10 to 12 minute or until golden brown.
