Soda Bread

• 225 g white plain flour
• 14 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 14 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 14 teaspoon salt
• 15 g butter
• 15 g white sugar
• 150 ml buttermilk (or half milk, half water, plus 1/4 tsp cream of tartar)
• 1 small egg

1. Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cream tartar and salt into a bowl.
2. Rub in the butter and the sugar.
3. Mix the buttermilk (or milk/water mix) in with the small egg and add to the flour mixture.
4. Mix lightly, then turn out onto a lightly-floured surface.
5. With clean and floured hands, bring into an approximate ball - do not work the dough too much.
6. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
7. Place the dough ball on a greased baking sheet and cover with a 'bonnet' (a saucepan or tin that is larger than the loaf).
8. Bake for 30 minutes with the bonnet on, and then remove it and cook for a further 15 minutes.
