This recipe came to me from Neil, who got it from our friend Lisa, who got it from her friend Ross, who got it from The Joy of Cooking. There's a reason this recipe has been passed on so many times - it's awesome!

1 cup sifted flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1-2 tbsp melted butter

Sift dry ingredients together. In another bowl, beat egg and then combine with buttermilk and melted butter. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and mix. Don't worry if there are lumps.

(That's where Lisa's recipe ends. I assume you can figure out the rest.)
