1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 oil or bacon grease
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

In a large bowl, heat milk and oil in the microwave until warm.
Slowly add flour to liquid mixture until dough is sticky. Mix until well blended. Do not knead dough. You may not use all the flour, but use as much as possible.
Once dough is ready, sprinkle flour on a flat surface. Transfer dough to the surface on top of sprinkled flour. Knead 4 or 5 times.
Shape dough into an oval shape, keeping middle section at least 2 inches thick and transfer to baking sheet.
Using a fork, poke holes in the top of the dough.
