Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
Cut in the Cold Shortening and Cold Butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the Buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat down to about 3/4 inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Do not twist the cutter.
Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, close together for softer sides.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Immediately brush the tops of the hot biscuits with Melted Unsalted Butter.
