4 c. flour 2 c. buttermilk 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Add buttermilk and stir briskly together with fork until dough holds together in a rough mass. Pour out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead for about 30 seconds, then pat into an 8-inch round about 1 1/2-inch thick. With a sharp knife, slice a large X on the top of the round. Place in an 8-inch greased cake pan or on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes until it is light brown and the X has opened up. Transfer to a rack to cool. Wrap it in a damp towel and allow it to stand on the rack for at least 8 hours to cool completely before serving.
