Step-by-Step Instructions for Buttermilk Peach Biscuits
  1. Chill the shortening and unsalted butter in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

  6. On a floured surface, pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and shape biscuits with a cutter.
  7. Chill the cut biscuits in a fridge for 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F.
