Old-time Flat Cake Bread 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder. ½ teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup shortening and buttermilk. Sift together the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening using an ordinary table fork. Add enough buttermilk to make a medium thick dough. Turn out onto floured board and knead very lightly (just enough so that dough sticks together). Pat out lightly with hands (do not use rolling pin) to an oval or rectangular shape about 1/2-inch thick. Place on large baking sheet (ungreased) and bake in preheated 475ºF oven until golden brown. Break into serving size chunks; place in napkin-lined heated crock and serve at once.
