   Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium
   speed of an electric mixer.  Add egg and vanilla; beat
   well.  Combine 2-1/4 cups flour, soda, and salt; add to
   creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing well.
   Add remaining 1/4 cup flour if dough seems very sticky.
   Cover and chill 8 hours.
   
   Work with one-fourth of dough at a time, and store
   remainder in refrigerator.  Place stockinette cover on
   rolling pin; flour well.  Roll dough to 1/16-inch thickness
   on a lightly floured pastry cloth.  Cut with a 3-inch round
   cutter, and carefully place on lightly greased cookie
   sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or just
   until cookies begin to brown around edges.  Cool slightly
   on cookie sheets, and sprinkle with superfine sugar. Remove
   cookies to wire racks, and cool completely.  Repeat
   procedure with remaining dough.  Store in airtight
   containers.  Yield:  about 9 dozen.
