Ingredients:





     1 lb Flour


     1 ts Salt


     1 ts Sugar


     1 ts 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.
