Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Add the flour to a large mixing bowl. Work in the shortening with a fork until the crumbs are coarse and about the size of peas. Add just enough buttermilk to make a nice stiff dough, stirring with a fork to combine. (There is no need to add salt since the self-rising flour has salt in it.) If it gets too sticky, add just a little more flour, but do not overwork the dough. Touch it as little as possible. You don't need a rolling pin, just pat it into a circle.

Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the dough to 1/3 inch to 1/2 inch thick. Use a floured round cutter to cut into biscuits.

Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Remove from oven; top each biscuit with a pat of butter.

Makes about 12 biscuits.
