Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar; mix well. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut shortening into flour mixture until crumbly. Add buttermilk and stir just until a soft dough forms.

Lightly flour a flat surface; using a rolling pin, roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter, cut into round biscuits and place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until light golden. Serve warm, or remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
