Sour Milk and Sodabread


If, like me, your milk was left out of the fridge and went off, don't bin it. Make soda bread.

Ingredients:
450g flour (any type you have) 
50g rolled oats
1 teaspoon salt
1 Level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon honey
450ml buttermilk (or sour milk)
Mixed seeds


1 tablespoon melted butter

Pre-heat oven 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 and grease a baking sheet.

Put all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Make a well in the middle.
Stir honey into milk until mixed then pour into well.
Quickly stir together with hands until you have soft sticky dough.
Form into a round and cut a deep cross in the dough.
If you have any seeds throw a small handful some over the top.

Bake for 50 mins to an hour until the crust is golden, and the loaf sounds hollow hen tapped underneath.
Brush with melted butter and leave to cool.

Eat asap with lashings of butter.
