Description

From William: Rebecca’s mother’s McGuire family recipe.

Ingredients

6 fistfuls plain flour
3 fistfuls wheat bran
2 fistfuls pinhead oatmeal
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1-2 ounces butter
around 500 ml buttermilk

Instructions

Mix the ingredients, slowly adding buttermilk till you get to a soft dough. Turn it on to a floured surface and shape into a round loaf shape. Make a deep cross across the top so that once baked it has four corners. Dust the top lightly with pinhead oatmeal, and bake at 180C for 50-55 minutes. Serve with Irish butter, and jam, or even a full Irish breakfast.
