Where's the bread?

I use this recipe all the time to complement any meal where you would like some fresh bread at the table but don’t want to spend the day making it.

Mix Dry: 2 cups flour add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, then add one cup sour cream. Stir it to soft dough. Pat out on floured board to ¾ “ thick and cut into rounds with a glass. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes on greased baking pan. Eat immediately and gluttonously with lots of butter, or honey or raspberry jam, or maple syrup. WARNING: highly addictive, produces fatness and happiness, plus unexpected visitors.
