With just two ingredients\u2014buttermilk and flour\u2014that aren\u2019t weighed or measured, Tracey\u2019s recipe is a testament to how a few fresh, local ingredients are all you need for a delicious dish. One or two guests lend a hand as Tracey cooks the bread on the griddle. Guests can also get involved in making lunch before the meal is shared. The fresh-off-the griddle bread is topped with butter \u201cfrom a little farm down the road\u201d that was even used for Harry and Megan&#8217;s wedding.

Because of the fresh, local ingredients and absence of preservatives, it may only be good for two days. But those two days of enhanced fresh flavors are worth her while.
