Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb Flour
1 t Salt
1 t Sugar
1 t Baking soda
1 1/2 c Buttermilk

The traditional bread of Ireland

Sift flour, salt, sugar & baking soda together a few
times to mix the thoroughly. Make a well in the centre
& stir in the buttermilk gradually to make a soft
dough. Turn out on a floured board & knead lightly for
a few minutes. Flatten it out to about 1/2" thick.
With a floured knife, cut a cross on it to help it
cook evenly throughout.

Bake at once in a hot oven (450F, Gas 8, 230C) for 45
min. To test whether the cake is done or not, tap the
bottom - if cooked it should sound hollow.
