 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4 1/4                To 4-1/2 cups whole wheat
                       -graham flour
  4       ts           Baking powder
    1/2   ts           Baking soda
  1       t            Salt
  2       ts           Butter or margarine, cut in
                       -small pieces
  2       c            Buttermilk

 Heat oven to 350F.   Grease a large cast-iron skillet
 or  baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix 4 C.  flour
 with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add
 butter and rub it into the flour by scooping up
 handfuls of the mixture and rubbing it between  the
 palms of your hands until pieces of butter  are  no
 longer visible.

 Add  buttermilk  to a bowl and stir with a  wooden
 spoon  until mixture forms  a dough.   Sprinkle about
 1/4  cup of  remaining flour on a board. Turn out
 dough and knead lightly for about 1 minute, working in
 the flour from the board and forming  dough into a
 smooth, round loaf about 8 inches in diameter.

 Put loaf,  smooth side up,  in prepared pan and cut a
 deep cross in it, slicing three-fourths of the way
 through the dough.  Bake 55-60 minutes, or until loaf
 sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a
 wire rack.
