a well in the center of the flour mixture and add buttermilk. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mix well to
make a soft moist and damp dough. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

| Scrap the
batter directly into a greased tray or you may knead it softly on a floured
surface and form 1 inch thick round. |

the center comes out dry. |

|
| When
cooked, the bottom of the bread will sound hollow when tapped and be golden
in colour. |
