The ingredients for this are:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
With the buttermilk, you can easily make your own for a fairly cheap price. Just follow SFHandyman's Instructable on how to make butter. It turns out a good quality buttermilk. I found that a pint of heavy cream yielded exactly 3/4 cup buttermilk, but it could be different in your case, so be sure to measure it if you make your own.
And thanks to InvaderDig for providing a subtitute for the shortening, if you'd rather use real butter. Subtitute 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon butter in place of the shortening.

Hello I am on my schools newspaper("Middleview"). I was wondering if I could use your awesome Instrucable for my "DIY and how to" section of the paper please respond if you want me to put this article in my schools paper(you will get credit for the article on the paper). Also the article may or may not be shortened for the paper.
Sincerly,
Coppeis

Shortening substitute: butter (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter; butter is better tasting than shortening, and contains no trans fats. Trans fats pose a higher risk of heart disease than saturated fats, which were once believed to be the worst kind of fats.
