I have no idea where this recipe came from… if it was from you, thank you very much, and I hope you don’t mind me reposting it!

Ingredients: 

  • Pint glass coarse flour
  • Pint glass white flour
  • 3/4 pint buttermilk
  • Enough salt to coat the bottom of a pint glass
  • Enough soda to coat the bottom of a pint glass
  • Enough butter to coat the bottom of a pint glass.

Method

  1. Mix the dry ingredients by hand in a large bowl.
  2. Rub  in the butter with fingertips.
  3. Make a hollow in the four and butter and add the  buttermilk.
  4. Make your hand into a claw shape and mix everything together but don’t over knead the dough.
  5. Turn out onto a floured surface and shape it into a flat round then cut a cross on the top.
  6. Bake the loaf in a hot oven at 190°C  for about 35-45 minutes.
  7. Knock the bottom and if it gives a hollow it is done.
  8. Wash the glass and fill with beer, have a slurp.
  9. Slice the loaf, spread with butter (not margarine) eat and enjoy
