6 c All purpose flour 2 ts Baking soda 2 ts Baking powder 3 tb Cornstarch 2 ts Sugar 1 ts Salt 2 1/2 c Buttermilk *** ----------------------------ADD FOR "SPOTTED DOG---------------------------- 1/2 c Raisins or sultanas *** may substitute 2 1/2 cup water and 10 tablespoons buttermilk powder. Preheat Oven to 375 degrees. Add all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix very well. (If making Spotted Dog variant, then add raisins.) Pour all of the buttermilk into the bowl at once and stir, using a wooden spoon, just until a soft dough is formed. Do not try to make it smooth at this point. Pour the contents of the bowl out onto a plastic counter and knead for a minute or so until everything comes together. You may need to add a bit more flour depending on humidity. The dough should be smooth, not sticky. Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a round loaf, pressing the top down a bit to just barely flatten it. Place the loaves on a large ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle some additional flour on the top of each loaf and, using a sharp paring knife, make the sign of the Cross in slashes on the top of each. Allow the loaves to rest for 10 minutes and then bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and done to taste. Cool on racks.

Personal comment: a close Irish friend gives her stamp of approval on this as being an authentic Irish soda bread. She supplied the "Spotted Dog" variant. |

For the pastry 8 oz (225 g) plain flour 8 oz (225 g) unsalted butter Two lemons ; Zest of For the filling 1/4 pt (150 ml) soured cream 4 oz (115 g) pecan nuts; crushed 2 Vanilla pods 1 pn Nutmeg; freshly ground 2 dr Almond extract; up to 3 2 ts (10 ml) cinnamon 2 Egg yolks lg Jar of mulberry jam You can find mulberry jam at most good delicatessens and supermarkets. Tiptree Jam make jam from their own mulberries. Believe me,it is the best mulberry jam I've ever tried and it's a completely British product. Preheat the oven to a medium heat - 300-350 degrees F (150-180 degrees F). Mix the flour with the butter and add the lemon zest. Divide the dough into two and place in the refrigerator until cold. Roll out one quantity of dough on a cold surface and line a flan case with it. Place this in the refrigerator, together with the remaining quantity of dough, which will be used later for the lid. Using a large bowl, combine the soured cream and the pecan nuts. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pods and add them to the bowl. Add the ground nutmeg, almond extract, cinnamon and egg yolks. Mix all the ingredients together. Remove the pastry-lined flan case from the refrigerator. Gently spread the jam over the entire surface of the bottom of the flan case. Then spread the pecan and soured cream mixture on top of this. Place the flan case to one side. Roll out the other piece of pastry on a cold surface. Place it on top of the flan to make a lid; trim the edges. Put the pie in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffy. You may want to whip up some double cream to serve with this. It's great both hot and cold. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l. ----- |
