Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut shortening into dry ingredients until texture resembles rolled oats. Add herbs and remaining 2 cups flour; gently toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Make a well in center of chilled mixture. Pour in buttermilk, and stir in quickly with your hands or a large spoon until just combined. It does not matter if there are bits of unincorporated flour left in the bowl.
- Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface, and divide in two. Shape dough lightly into rough rectangles. Place one piece on top of the other. Transfer right onto a nonstick baking mat-lined baking sheet, preferably without sides. Roll dough out quickly and gently, being careful to not overwork dough. Pat edges to make them straight. Cut into 2-inch square pieces.
- Brush tops with heavy cream. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes; cover with parchment paper-lined foil if browning too quickly. Place sheets on wire racks to cool.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda for 30 seconds. Toss butter into dry mixture to evenly coat, then press between your fingers to create flower-petal shapes and return to bowl. Stir in herbs.
- Whisk mustard into buttermilk, then slowly drizzle over flour-butter mixture (to evenly distribute) while stirring with a fork. Stop stirring when dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Transfer to center of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough with your hands, pressing firmly to bind, and flatten it into a 6-by-10-inch rectangle. Lift parchment along a short end of dough and fold in half, forming a 6-by-5-inch rectangle. Turn dough 90 degrees; gently reflatten to 6 by 10 inches. Fold in half again and flatten slightly into a 6-inch square.
- To keep things easy, form the dough on the same tray it's baked on. Cut it into thirds in both directions with a large, sharp knife, to form 9 biscuits. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until puffed, golden brown on top, and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottom, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel-lined basket; cover to keep warm. Serve with mustard and ham.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before starting, ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready to use. This will make the biscuit-making process smoother and prevent any scrambling.
- Use cold butter: Cold butter is essential for flaky biscuits. Keep your butter refrigerated until you're ready to use it, and then grate it into the flour mixture. This will ensure that the butter remains in small pieces and creates pockets of steam during baking, resulting in light and fluffy biscuits.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will develop the gluten and make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until the dough comes together, and then shape it into biscuits.
- Cut the biscuits evenly: Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into even rounds. This will help them bake evenly.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) before baking the biscuits. This will help them rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.

With its combination of savory onions, aromatic herbs, and fluffy buttermilk biscuits, this recipe is sure to impress your taste buds.
