To Make the Biscuits
Cut the shortening into the biscuit mix.
Add buttermilk gradually as you mix, until the dough forms a rough ball and all sticks together. It should be slightly tacky.
On a floured surface, press dough into a square that is 1 inch thick.
Cut into 6 squares (or smaller if you'd like mini biscuits).
Gently round out the edges of each biscuit and place in buttered baking dish. You can use a cast iron skillet, a cookie sheet, really anything.
For soft edges, place the biscuits 1/4 inch apart. For firm edges, place them 2 inches apart.
Bake at 450º F for about 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are just starting to brown.
After biscuits are baked, brush tops with melted butter.
