3-Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuits

Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 500 °F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick vegetable oil spray or butter. Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives until pea-sized lumps form. Stir in buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms. On a lightly floured work surface, turn out dough and gently knead 2 –3 times until dough just comes together, being careful to not overwork. Roll out dough to a 1/2" thickness; cut with a 2" biscuit cutter or small glass that has been dipped in flour. Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 6 –8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
