Difficulty:

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups buttermilk *

*Note: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, a fair substitute is to add 1 tsp. lemon juice to each cup of regular milk, wait 3-5 minutes, then use wherever buttermilk is called for.

Directions

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a pie or round cake pan with melted butter or spray with non-stick spray.

Combine dry ingredients in a deep bowl. Gradually stir in 2 cups buttermilk, beating constantly, until dough is smooth.

Pour into prepared pan…it won’t be long now!

Bake at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden.
