4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons butter, cold

2 cups buttermilk

1. Preheat oven to 350*F (175*). Grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
2. In mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing well. With a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture, until crumbly. Add the buttermilk, stir with a fork just enough to moisten. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 8 to 10 times.
3. Place in prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until browned and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Makes 1 loaf.

Variation: Add 1 cup currants or raisins. You can also bake this bread in a casserole baking dish, or shape the loaf on a baking sheet.
