4 to 4 1/4 cups flour, unsifted
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl stir together flour, salt, baking powder,
baking soda, and sugar until well blended. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two
butter knives until crumbly. In a separate bowl, beat egg slightly and mix with buttermilk.
Stir into dry ingredients until well blended. Turn out onto a floured board and knead until
smooth (about 2 minutes). Divide dough into halves and shape each half into a smooth,
round loaf. Place each loaf in a greased cake pan or pie pan. Press down until
dough fills pans. With a sharp, floured knife, cut crosses into tops of loaves about 1/2-
inch deep. Bake for about 35 minutes
