White Soda Bread

Recipe By :Ruth Isabel Ross

450 grams All-purpose Flour -- (1 lb/4 cups)
1/2 tsp baking soda -- (generous 1/2 US tsp)
1/2 tsp salt -- (generous 1/2 US tsp)
280 ml Buttermilk -- (approximately)

Sieve/sift the flour, salt and bread/baking soda into a bowl. Make a well
in the centre. Pour in most of the buttermilk to make a loose dough,
adding more if necessary. Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead it
very slightly. Turn the smooth side up. Flatten it carefully and cut a
cross on the top. Bake at 200 C/400 F/gas 6 for about 3/4 hour or until
the loaf sounds hollow if you tap the base. (You may need to turn it for 5
minutes or so to achieve this.) Place the loaf on a wire rack with a clean
tea towel/dish cloth over it to let it cool slowly.

Description: "A simple but popular bread. Especially good with homemade
blackcurrant jam."
