       Yield: 1 servings
  
       1 tb Butter                              1 ts Baking soda
       4 c  White flour                         1 c  Buttermilk or sweet milk
       1 ts Salt                           
  
   Rub the butter into the flour. Add the salt and soda, mix all well together
   by running the dry ingredients through your fingers.
   
   Add the buttermilk (or sweet milk) and stir into a soft dough with a wooden
   spoon. With your floured hands, knead the dough lightly into a ball and
   turn out onto a lightly floured baking sheet.
   
   Flatten the dough into a circle 1 1/2 inches thick with the palm of your
   hand. Make a cross in the center with a floured knife.
   
   Bake at 425 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
