Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick vegetable spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, and orange rind; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg and buttermilk, mixing until dough forms. Gently knead in blueberries. Turn out onto a lightly floured board; roll to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine butter, sugar, and spices. Brush over tops of biscuits. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
