Pack flour into a large bowl using the back of your hand to press it against the sides and bottom.

Add shortening to the flour and incorporate it by squeezing it between your fingers until it is in smaller pieces.

Pour in buttermilk and add a little baking soda to the mixture.

Continue to squish the mixture with your hands until it reaches a thick consistency.

Wash your hands to prevent the dough from sticking while rolling.

Roll the dough into biscuits by pinching off pieces and rolling them in your hands, using your thumb to create a smooth top and a crease on the bottom.

Place the rolled biscuits in a greased pan, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.

Bake the biscuits in a preheated convection oven at 450°F to 500°F until done.
