Soda Bread

Ingredients
  

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • bacon fat or neutral oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients stirring until combined.
  • Dollop batter into 12 biscuits on a lined baking sheet or two. You want to ensure there is room for them to spread.
  • Bake in a 350°F for 20 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Allow to cool completely. We sometimes fry the biscuits up the next day.
  • Cut the biscuits in half.
  • In a frying pan heat the bacon fat on medium heat. Add soda bread cut side down to the frying pan. We only do about 4 pieces at a time to prevent overcrowding. Adding too many pieces at a time will lower the temperature of the fat.
  • Flip the soda bread once the first side is nice and brown. Continue to fry the second side until it to is brown. Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess fat.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, top it with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, or jam! Whichever you prefer and enjoy!
