In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk; knead dough gently.

User Reviews:

My three year old loves helping me make these. We end up with stars, hearts, and everything else, but the family enjoys eating our creativity.
