make a well in centre.pour in about three quarters of the buttermilk and mix together ,pour in a little more buttermilk if needed the dough should be soft and sticky
turn onto floured surface and knead very lightly and briefly until it comes together in a ball, if you overknead it will make the bread heavy.Cut dough into two halves and briefly knead each half into rounds
slightly flatten each half to about 4 cm/ 1-2 inch thickness. Put them well apart on a baking sheet and dust with flour
cut a large deep cross into each round to about 1 cm of the base .
