• Stir together buttermilk and relish; slowly pour over flour-butter mixture, stirring with a fork, until a crumbly dough forms. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough with your hands, pressing firmly to bind, and flatten into a 6-by- 10-inch rectangle. Lift parchment along a short end of dough and fold in half, forming a 6-by-5-inch rectangle. Turn dough 90 degrees; gently reflatten to 6 by 10 inches. Fold in half again and flatten slightly into an 8-inch square.
