Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Whisk

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Using your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Dust your hands with a little flour and dump the dough onto a well-floured work surface; press it a few times into a round loaf until it just comes together (do not over-work the dough!)
9
Transfer to the prepared skillet. Using a serrated knife, score an “X” on the top of the dough about an inch deep.
10
Bake for ⏱️ 35-40 minutes or until a long thin skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden. (You can tent loosely with foil toward the end if the top is over-browning.)

Transfer

Remove skillet from oven (Be careful—the handle will be hot!) and allow to sit for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice! Enjoy with butter, jam, or on its own. So good!
