In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
Cube up the butter into small squares and toss in the flour mixture to coat them. Then use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dough. I work them until they’re pea to walnut size.
Make a well and pour in one cup of the buttermilk. Stir into a shaggy dough. Slowly add 1/2 cup more buttermilk and keep stirring. You don’t want this too wet! Add more buttermilk if needed.
When Dough is moistened, dump it onto the counter. Work the dough into a cohesive mass. Sprinkling with flour as needed to keep it from sticking.
Shape into a square, then cut in half. Stack the two pieces and press into another square. Cut in half again. You should have 4 pieces stacked on top of each other.
Press down into a square again and cover with saran wrap.
Place in fridge 30 minutes. 45 minutes max.
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Flour the dough and roll out with a rolling pin until 1 inch thick.
Cut into square or desired shapes.
