1. 1

   In a shallow skillet, bring to a boil enough water to just cover the chicken.

4. 4

   Cut into dice.

   Add salt and pepper to taste.

8. 8

   Into a bowl, sift the flour and salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.

   Stir in the cheese and add enough of the buttermilk to form the mixture into a dough.

10. 10

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just until it becomes soft and pliable.

11. 11

    Roll out the dough into a 1/2-inch thick circle and with a cutter stamp out rounds.
