Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

With two butter knives or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles crumbs.
Stir in buttermilk until it forms a soft dough.
With a wooden spoon or spatula, transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan.
Bake until bread is dark brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
Turn out onto a cooling rack.
Turn right side up to cool.
Delicious with honey butter or jam!
Try it toasted, too!
