Ingredients:
8 ounces of plain white flour.
8 ounces of plain wholemeal flour.
3.75 ounces of porridge oats.
1 tablespoon of bicarbonate soda.
1 tablespoon of salt.
1 ounce of non salted butter.
1 ½ pints of butter milk.
Instructions:
Preheat the oven gas mark 6, approximately 200 C.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper with a dust of flour and place in the preheated oven to warm the tray.
Combine the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and rub the butter into the dry mix.
Gently pour in the butter milk whilst stirring the mixture together.
Once you get a thick doughy consistency , bring the dough together with your fingertips (remember to need lightly and gently).
Once the dough is thicker and more pliable, shape it into a round loaf ball (20cm/8in in diameter)
Place the loaf onto the warmed baking try and traditionally score a cross into the loaf.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until hollow and golden (occasionally take out and tap, if it sounds hollow then it’s ready, if its still soft and doesn't hollow when tap, place it back into the oven).
Once baked transfer onto a wire rack and use a clean tea towel to cover the loaf (this lets the loaf cool whilst still being crusty and soft). Or you can just leave to cool on its own.
Serve broken into quarters or simply serve however suits you (Don’t forget the class of Guinness).
Enjoy.
