Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

Knead the dough into a ball and place it in a greased 9-by-5-inch baking pan. Cut a cross into the top of the dough and brush the top with milk.

Bake at 375°F for 45 to 50 minutes.
