You need

2 cups self-rising flour
¾ cup cold buttermilk (a splash more only if dry)

Good to know: Grease for the pan and a little flour for your hands are free.

What to do

Oven 400°F.
Stir with a fork into a soft, shaggy dough.
Shape a rough round about 2 in high on a floured board; don't knead or smooth it.
Set on a greased sheet and cut a deep cross.
Bake 25-30 min, until deep golden and hollow when knocked underneath.
Best that day, toasted the next.
