Ingredients

- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp bread soda
- 375 mls buttermilk
Method
Method
- Preheat the oven to 230oc. Sieve the dry ingredients. Make a well in the centre.
- Pour in all the milk at once. Using 1 hand, with your fingers stiff and outstretched like a claw, stir in a full circular movement from the centre to the outside of the bowl in ever increasing circles. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, turn it out onto a well-floured work surface. Wash and dry your hands. Tidy it up and flip over gently. Pat the dough into a round, about 4cm deep.
- Cut a deep cross on the loaf and prick in the four corners.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes then turn down to 200deg C for 30 minutes until cooked. If you are in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread, when it is cooked it will sound hollow. Cool on a wire rack.
- Tip! Soda breads are best eaten on the day they are made but are still good for a day or so more.
