Ingredients
- 4 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. You can also use a greased 8-inch cast-iron or cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, oil, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently fold until it becomes too stiff to stir.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute until all flour is moistened. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little bit more flour.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in the prepared pan. Score the top with an X about ½-inch deep.
- Bake 45-55 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. If the top is browning too fast, tent with aluminum foil. Cool for 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
