2 cups plain flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbl pure lard
2/3 cup fresh buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Mix the flour, soda, and salt together. Cut in the lard with 2 forks until the mixture has the appearance of small white gravel.

Pour all the buttermilk in at one time.

Gently mix, and put the dough on a floured board. Knead 6-7 times.

Roll to a half inch thickness. Cut to desired size (we use floured water glasses) and put on a greased baking sheet.

Cook 'til golden brown.

Serves 6.
