2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
1 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
Flour (enough to make a stiff dough, 5-6 c.)

Cream sugar and butter. Add soda to the buttermilk, then add it to creamed mixture. Add vanilla. Add baking powder to first cup of flour. Chill dough at least 3 hours. Roll very thin. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until edges brown slightly. These are tedious, but so delicious.
