Try this
Irish Soda Bread

Ingredients

500 g all-purpose flour
50 g white sugar
5 g baking soda
10 g baking powder
3 g salt
115 g margarine, softened
235 ml buttermilk
1 egg
55 g butter, melted
60 ml buttermilk
Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 30 to 50 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes.
Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.
