i have a friend from Ireland here in town and i'm sure he'd be thrilled if he could have some good Irish food.

Just give him 24 Guinness and he'll forget all about the soda bread lol

Soda Bread

2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar.
1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon bread soda 1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 taespúnóg púdar aráin 2 wee spoons of butter

Melt the butter
Sift the dry elements and the reasins in big bowl.
Make a pit in the centre and put enough buttermilk and butter to make soft dough.
Work fast and kneed the dough lightly with your hands in a floured kneeding trough.
To this toroughly and put into a wide baking tray and throw some flour over it.
Cut crosses with the tip of a floured knife.
Put inside a heated oven (350 ).
Leave there for 30 - 45 minutes.
When it is cooked, there will be a hollow sound when hit with your finger.

soda bread has a habit of coming out like a rock. If it does, you can cook it in a casserole dish with the lid on and a little extra water in the recipe. take the lid off to cool when you take it out of the oven but leave in the casserole dish until cold.
Good luck. It's a divil to get right.
Porter cake is a no-fail.
