Sultana Soda Bread







Ingredients

1lb Plain White Flour

1 Level tsp Salt

1 Level tsp Cream of tartar

1 Level tsp Bicarbonate of soda

1 Level tblsp Sugar

3 oz Sultanas

1/2 pint of soured milk or fresh milk with1 tblsp of yoghurt

Method

Sift flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar into a bowl. Stir in the sugar and sultanas. Add the milk gradually, forming a dough.

Knead lightly onto a floured board and flatten into a round. Cut a deep cross on top and brush with milk to brown.

Bake in the middle of the oven on a greased and floured baking tray for 25/30 minutes on 190/200 degrees Centigrade, depending on type of oven. You may have to turn the loaf upside down and cook for a further 5 minutes.

This loaf can be wrapped in a damp cloth (tea-towel) and turned on it's side to cool.

I can't believe what hubby has just said - he's treading a fine line here- hasn't yet tasted a slice because he reckons he'd rather have it without the sultanas! I'm speechless, I can tell you.....

Remind me folks the name of the recipe - Sultana Soda Bread! I rest my case. That's his lot for the weekend.
