Ingredients
- 1 pound Loaf:
- 8 ounces Stone-Ground Whole Meal Flour (225Gr)
- 3 ounces Coarse Oatmeal (75Gr)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Egg (Size 2)
- 1/2 pint Buttermilk (275Ml)
Make it step by step
- You'll need a 1 lb loaf tin, well greased and lightly dusted with flour.
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 5, 375F, 190C
- All you do is place the flour, oatmeal, sugar, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and mix them well together. Then whisk the egg into the buttermilk and add that to the dry ingredients, mixing everything together thoroughly.
- The mixture will remain quite soft, so just place it in the tin and bake it on the middle shelf of the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the loaf sods hollow when you tap it on the underneath.
- Leave it on a wire rack to cool, and serve very fresh in crusty slices, spread with Irish butter.
- This bread is also lovely fresh from the oven on a cold winter weekend and served for tea with butter and homemade jam.
