Preheat Oven 450F
Mix 2 cups AP flour, 1TBS baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4tsp baking soda.
Shred a ¼ cup shortening/butter using the large grate on a box grater. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. Then stir into the dry mixture until basically distributed.
Add ½ cup buttermilk and stir to absorb. Then add another ½ cup buttermilk mixing to a quite shaggy consistency.
Turn onto a floured board and knead at least 6 times folding in between. It helps to use a pastry knife to scrape the mix off the board the first few times. It starts quite shaggy but pulls together as you knead and fold.
Press to desire thickness and cut into desired shapes. Place on clean baking sheet (no oil)
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
