Instructions

           1     stick butter

           1     cup buttermilk

           1     cup sugar

           1     egg

           1     teaspoon baking soda

     21/2     teaspoons baking powder

           3     cups flour

           3     drops vanilla

 

Melt the butter and add to the buttermilk, sugar and egg; mix well. Add baking soda, baking powder, flour (1 cup at a time) and vanilla. Mix well and refrigerate overnight. Next day, take out a giant spoonful of dough to work on. Keep remaining dough in the refrigerator until ready to use. Pull a good pinch of dough, flour it a bit and start rolling it out with your floured hands. Roll to thickness of your little finger and shape it into a figure 8 or a bow. Repeat with remaining dough. Place figures on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
