Darina Allen’s Irish Soda Bread recipe

mummys-brown-irish-soda-bread-from-darina-allen-hero

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound all-purpose flour (about 3 1/2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 13 to 16 ounces buttermilk (depending on the consistency of the buttermilk)

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 450° F.
  • Mix the flours in a large wide bowl, add the salt and sieved baking soda. Lift the flour up with your fingers to distribute the salt and baking soda.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in all the buttermilk. With your fingers stiff and outstretched, stir in a circular movement from the center to the outside of the bowl in ever increasing concentric circles. When you reach the outside of the bowl, seconds later the dough should be made.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on the worktop. Turn the dough out onto the floured worktop. (Fill the bowl with cold water so it will be easy to wash later.)
  • Sprinkle a little flour on your hands. Gently tidy the dough around the edges and transfer to oven tray. Tuck the edges underneath with your hand; gently pat the dough with your fingers into a loaf about 1 1/2-inch thick. Now wash and dry your hands.
  • Cut a deep cross into the bread (this is called ‘blessing the bread’ and then prick it in the center of the four sections to let the fairies out of the bread).
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes then turn the oven down to 400°F for a further 15 or 20 minutes. Turn the bread upside down and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes until cooked (the bottom should sound hollow when tapped). Cool on a wire rack

Variations:

  • Brown Soda Bread: Replace half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Dubliner Soda Bread: Before baking, brush loaf with egg wash (egg beaten with a little milk) and sprinkle with shredded Dubliner cheese.
  • Cheese Scones: After the soda bread has been shaped, flatten it out and cut into pieces to form scones. Brush tops with egg wash (egg beaten with a little milk), dip tops into shredded Dubliner cheese and bake, cheese-side up, 10 minutes in a 450° F oven; cook on wire rack.

Pumpkin Spice French Toast

Ingredients 1 loaf, challah, brioche or other thickly sliced bread (15 slices)
2/3 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/2 cup Kerrygold Naturally Softer Pure Irish Butter

Instructions:

  1. Slice the loaf of challah into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. In a shallow bowl or baking dish, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, milk, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
  3. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Begin dipping the sliced bread into the pumpkin custard mixture. Let soak for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, depending on your preference. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of Kerrygold Naturally Softer Pure Irish Butter in the skillet.
  4. Cook the French toast for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Keep the finished pieces of French toast warm in the oven, while cooking up the remainder, by placing them on a baking sheet in the warm oven.
  5. Serve with pure maple syrup or powdered sugar, more Kerrygold Naturally Softer Pure Irish butter, and a sprinkle of Pumpkin spice.

    –
    INGREDIENTS:
    2 slices of brioche bread (1″+ thick)
    3 tablespoons Kerrygold Salted Butter
    1 teaspoon granulated sugar
    1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
    1/4 cup + 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (can substitute honey or coconut sugar)
    1/4 teaspoon orange zest (or orange blossom water)
    1/2 cup sliced strawberries
    Coarse sugar, optional
    DIRECTIONS:
    Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
    Butter each side of the bread, saving 1 tablespoon of the butter for the skillet. Sprinkle the bread with granulated sugar. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet, and then add the bread to the skillet. Toast the bread on each side until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
    Meanwhile, slice the strawberries and toss them with 2 teaspoons of powdered sugar. Set aside.
    In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and orange zest until fluffy.
    Remove the toast from the skillet, and top each slice with the cheesecake filling, followed by the strawberries. I like to sprinkle coarse sugar on top before serving, but it’s optional.

Kerrygold Irish Oat Flapjacks

kerrygold flapjacks

Serves:

Makes 10

This has to be one of the quickest and easiest recipes to master. The traditional flapjack is simply delicious and similar to an oat bar. Flapjacks are not to be confused with an American or Canadian flapjack, which is another term for pancakes. They store well in an airtight container for up to 1 week, which makes them great for a packed lunch.

Ingredients:

  • 6 tbsp (3oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter, extra to grease
  • ¼ cup (2oz) light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup
  • 2 cups (6oz) rolled oats

Directions:

Preheat the oven 350°F (180°C), Gas mark 4. Grease a shallow 7in (18cm) round or square cake tin. Melt the butter with the sugar and syrup in a pan over a low heat, then pour it on to the rolled oats in a large bowl. Mix well, then scrape the mixture into the prepared tin and press down well.

Bake the flapjacks for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly in the tin, then mark into slices or fingers with a sharp knife and loosen round the edges. When firm remove from the tin, and cool on a wire rack, then break into slices or fingers.

To serve, arrange the flapjacks on a large plate and allow guests to help themselves.
