    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4               cups  all-purpose flour
    4        tablespoons  granulated sugar
    1           teaspoon  baking soda
    1         tablespoon  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
       1/2           cup  margarine -- softened
    1                cup  buttermilk
    1                     egg
       1/4           cup  butter -- melted
       1/4           cup  buttermilk

Preheat oven to 375F (190C). 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.

well in the center, and pour in the buttermilk.

floured surface. Form into a flattened circle, about 1/2" thick and

Serving Ideas : It's best eaten fresh with butter and jam but is also 
delicious fried as part of an Ulster breakfast.

NOTES : Soda bread dough is flattened into a round circle, and 
divided into farls meaning 4 parts. It is then cooked on a dry 
griddle or pan. Traditionally this was the quickest way to make soda 
bread for unexpected guests who drop by for a bit of craic (good fun).
