Directions:

  1. Sieve dry ingredients into a large bowl. Scoop up
  2. Handfuls and allow to drop back into the bowl to
  3. Aerate the mixture. Add enough buttermilk to make a
  4. Soft dough. Now work quickly as the buttermilk and
  5. Soda are already reacting. Knead the dough lightly -
  6. Too much handling will toughen it, while too little
  7. Means it won't rise properly. Form a round loaf about
  8. As thick as your fist. Place it on a lightly floured
  9. Baking sheet and cut a cross in the top with a floured
  10. Knife. Put at once to bake near the top of a
  11. Pre-heated oven, gas mark 8, 450 degrees F, for 30-45
  12. Minutes. When baked, the loaf will sound hollow when
  13. Rapped on the bottom with your knuckles. Wrap
  14. Immediately in a clean tea-towl to stop the crust
  15. Hardening too much. **Note: Wheaten bread or Brown
  16. Soda is made in exactly the same way but with

  21. Spotted Dick. Source: The Little Irish Cookbook by
