Sprinkle a baking sheet with a bit of flour. Set aside. To a bowl add the flour, soda, salt. Sift once. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the buttermilk. In a circular motion, mix till just combined. If too dry to come together, add 1 Tablespoon of buttermilk at a time to make a cohesive dough. Gather your dough and move to a slightly floured board. Pat into a mound that is 6 1/2 inches across and 1 1/2 inches tall. Turn both sides into the flour and transfer to the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 450F.
