Irish Soda Bread

I love soda bread served warm with lashings of golden syrup! Unhealthy, yes, but tastes soooo very very good!
Ingredients
4 cups flour
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
60g butter, cubed
2-2 1/4 cups buttermilk

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a tray with baking paper. Sift 4 cups flour, 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl.

2. Rub in 60g butter, cubed. Mix in 2-2 1/4 cups buttermilk to form a dough. Bring together on a floured surface to form a ball.

3. Shape dough into a 20cm round. Place on the tray. Cut a cross in the top. Bake for 35-45 minutes.

Enjoy!
