Soda Bread

Method

1. Squeeze the lemon juice into the milk and allow to stand until curdled and separated.
2. Add the flour and bicarb into a bowl and mix. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk mixture.
3. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough is formed.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a round shape – no need to knead.
5. Place onto a baking tray, score a cross on the top and bake in the oven for 40 mins.
6. You can tell if it’s cooked by tapping the bottom – if it sounds hollow, it’s done, if not pop it back in for a while longer.
7. Allow to cool on a wire rack before tucking in.
