2	C	all-purpose flour
1	tbsp.	baking powder
1	tsp.	baking soda
1/2	tsp.	salt
1	tbsp.	white sugar
4	tbsp.	unsalted cold butter
1-1/2	C	buttermilk
1	large	egg

Preheat oven to 375F. Grease and flour a 8-1/2-inch round cake pan.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.

Cut the butter into the flour very gently until it resembles oatmeal.

In a small bowl, gently beat the egg and then add the buttermilk. Stir to combine thoroughly.

Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and then pour in the buttermilk-egg mixture. Combine the two mixtures, stirring very gently with a wooden spoon until it forms into dough. It will be wet and sticky.

Turn dough oto a well-floured surface and generously dust it with flour (make sure to dust your hands too). Very gently form the dough into a ball and then transfer it into the prepared cake pan.

Lightly press the dough so that it spreads to the edges of the pan. With a sharp knife, cut an X into the top of the dough. Bake for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven when a toothpick come out clean when tested.
