      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.
