Preheat the oven to 200 C/ fan 180 C/gas mark 6. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar into a large bowl, then stir in the salt.
Lightly rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the centre and gradually add the buttermilk and enough of the water to form a soft dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly, then shape into a 20cm round. Place on a baking sheet and, using a sharp knife, mark a deep cross on the top.
Bake the loaf for 30 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.

"What can you do if you cannot get Buttermilk? I don't think Supermarkets sell it but I think you can use ordinary milk and lemon juice and would appreciate some advice as I would love to make this sometime."
