Recipe Introduction


This is an old recipe that I used to make.





List of Ingredients



• 4 cups sifted all purpose flour
  
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
  
• 1 tablespoon sugar
  
• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of Tartar
  
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease well a large cookie sheet.
   
2. In large bowl, combine flour, with baking soda, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar, mix well.
   
3. Add buttermilk, with fork, stir just until all dry ingredients are moistened.
   
4. Turn out dough onto lightly floured board. Knead lightly until smooth - about 1 minute.
   
5. Shape dough into a ball, place on cookie sheet. With hands, flatten into a 7 inch circle. With sharp knife, cutting 1/4 inch deep, mark into quarters. (A large cross.)
   
6. Bake 30-40 minutes, or until top is golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when rapped with knuckle.
   
7. Remove loaf to wire rack. Brush top with butter, cool completely.
