1/2 Gallon Buttermilk

Get out the big mixing bowl? and cut the shortening sticks into the flour with a pastry blender or fork. Add buttermilk and mix well. Pour onto floured surface and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with floured biscuit cutter or Iced tea glass. Bake on shallow pans at 400 to 450 degrees until golden brown. When down brush tops with melted butter.
