White Soda Bread recipe @Ballymaloe Co.Cork ❤️

INGREDIENTS

Preheat the oven to 250deg C

Makes 1 loaf

450g (1lb, 31/2 cups) plain flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
300-600ml (1/2 – 1 pint, 1 1/4 – 2 1/2 cups) sour milk or buttermilk

METHOD

Sieve the dry ingredients. Make a well in the centre.

Pour in all the milk at once. Using 1 hand, with your fingers stiff and outstretched like a claw, stir in a full circular movement from the centre to the outside of the bowl in ever increasing circles. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, turn it out onto a well-floured work surface. Wash and dry your hands. Tidy it up and flip over gently. Pat the dough into a round, about 4cm deep.

Cut a deep cross on the loaf and prick in the four corners.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes then turn down to 200deg C for 30 minutes until cooked. If you are in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread, when it is cooked it will sound hollow. Cool on a wire rack.

Tip! Soda breads are best eaten on the day they are made, but are still good the next day.

Spotted Dog

Follow the recipe above adding: 1 dessert spoon of sugar, 100g sultanas, 1 egg.

Add the sugar and the sultanas with the flour and drop the egg in with the milk before missing. Spotted dog is also called railway cake in some parts of Ireland.

Stripy Cat

Follow the spotted dog recipe replacing the sultanas with 75g of roughly chopped best quality chocolate.

  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 ½ cups stock (lamb, veg or chicken)
  • 4 potatoes (floury)

METHOD

Shred some fat off the Gigot or Rack chops and render it down in the bottom of a heavy casserole pot. Peel onions, carrots and potatoes. Trim off any excess fat from the chops. Do not remove bones. Cut carrots and onions into quarters. Toss meat in the rendered fat until browned then remove. Do the same with the carrots and onions, then add back in the meat.

Add stock if you have it or water will do. Season nicely with salt and pepper remembering that it will reduce.Allow to simmer for half an hour with the lid on, then add potatoes on top. Cover and simmer gently for another 1 and half hours approximately on a gentle heat or in a moderate oven until meat is cooked.

Then pour off the cooking liquid. Degrease and reheat in another saucepan. Very slightly thicken the liquid with roux. Check seasoning. Then swirl in butter, chives, parsley and pour back into stew.
