Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 cups unbleached flour, plus extra from kneading
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoon butter or margarine, frozen or very cold
1/2 cup club soda or carbonated soda
1/4 cup buttermilk or milk, cold

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Whisk dry ingredients together. Grate frozen butter or cut very cold butter, into small pieces. Incorporate butter into dry mixture with a pastry blender or a fork. Stir in club soda and buttermilk just until dry ingredients are moistened. The dough will be soft, airy and look like a sponge. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead 7 to 10 times, adding as little flour as needed. Cut into desired size, place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake 8-12 minutes. Take out of oven and brush with melted butter if desired.
