Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 365°F.

Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix by hand until combined. Grate cold butter and add to dry mixture. Add buttermilk to mixture and combine until all of the dry ingredients are hydrated.

Put the dough onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle measuring 12 inches by 8 inches.

Fold the top of the rectangle halfway toward the middle; fold the bottom of the rectangle on top. Flour the top and invert.

Roll out into a rectangle approximately 12 inches by 8 inches. With seams facing down, roll into a square. Cut into squares of desired size. Brush with buttermilk.

Bake until tops and bottoms are golden brown, and the middle has set—around 30 minutes.
