Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the flour with the salt and the ¼ cup of sugar.

Using fingers, rub in the butter until the mixture is the texture of sand. Gently knead the dough just until it comes together.

Using the blunt side of a large knife, score the round into 8 wedges. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown and just cooked through.
