Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seed
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons butter, chilled

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and fennel seed. In another bowl, stir together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, until just blended using a large spoon. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Dot with the 3 tablespoons of chilled butter.
