SDG

And it was only £2.50 !!!!!!

My daughter has been trying to get me to visit Ireland.
That breakfast may be reason enough!

All week long I have cereal, fruit, and juice for breakfast.
The weekends however...well, I make something called a Turbo-Breakfast.
I own breakfast on the weekends.

I could MURDER that right about now. I'm starved.

xmanhoe, I don't suppose you have a good recipe for soda bread???

How can you eat those beans??!!

Do you call the sausage bangers in Ireland? Hope you feel better soon.

Wow!!! That's a well-trained daughter. I still haven't gotten mine to fetch coffee yet but she just turned 10.

In Belfast, a banger is something completely different!

Baked beans are disgusting but I'd scrape them off and eat the rest of that in about 5 minutes...mmmm, proper breakfast

Dare i ask what a banger means in Belfast other than the obvious Well maybe not so obvious

Banger - an old car that has seen better days - a "sexual" act - a firework bit like a fire cracker and a word for a hand gun

Irish Soda Bread Recipe
INGREDIENTS
4 to 4 1/2 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 Tbsp butter
1 cup raisins
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 425°. Sift together 4 cups of flour, the sugar, salt, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
2 Using a pastry cutter or two knives (can also use your fingers), work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, then stir in raisins.


3 Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add beaten egg and buttermilk to well and mix in with a wooden spoon until dough is too stiff to stir. Dust hands with a little flour, then gently knead dough in the bowl just long enough to form a rough ball. If the dough is too sticky to work with, add in a little more flour. Do not over-knead! Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a round loaf. Note that the dough will be a little sticky, and quite shaggy (a little like a shortcake biscuit dough). You want to work it just enough so that it comes together. If you over-knead, the bread will end up tough.

4 Transfer dough to a large, lightly greased cast-iron skillet or a baking sheet (it will flatten out a bit in the pan or on the baking sheet). Using a serrated knife, score top of dough about an inch or so deep in an "X" shape. The purpose of the scoring is to help heat get into the center of the dough while it cooks. Transfer to oven and bake until bread is golden and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, about 35-45 minutes. (If you use a cast iron pan, it may take a little longer as it takes longer for the pan to heat up than a baking sheet.) Check for doneness also by inserting a long, thin skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, it's done.
Hint 1: If the top is getting too dark while baking, tent the bread with some aluminum foil.
Hint 2: If you use a cast iron skillet to cook the bread in the oven, be very careful when you take the pan out. It's easy to forget that the handle is extremely hot. Cool the handle with an ice cube, or put a pot holder over it.
Remove pan or sheet from oven, let bread sit in the pan or on the sheet for 5-10 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool briefly. Serve bread warm, at room temperature, or sliced and toasted. Best when eaten warm and just baked.
