Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit (190° Celsius), and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.
Cut cold butter into the flour.
Add buttermilk and egg. Stir together and knead it a little until a ball forms.
Shape dough into a disc and place on baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife to slash an X into the dough. Cut approximately 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. into the dough.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup buttermilk with 1/4 cup melted butter. Brush this mixture over the dough.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Brush with the buttermilk and butter mixture, and then bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Use a toothpick to check if your bread is done. If needed, brush with buttermilk and butter once more and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes
Try to create more of a flattened disc than a globe. The rounder and thicker your dough, the longer it will need to bake.
