Garnish with cream and grated chocolate and serve.

Finally, why not add a little sparkle to your St Patrick's Day with a classic Irish soda bread? This classic loaf is easy to make and will add a delicious touch to your dinner table. Start by sifting together 500g of plain flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar. In a separate bowl, mix 200ml of buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of treacle. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Knead the dough on a floured surface and shape into a round loaf. Place on a greased baking tray and bake at 200C for 40-45 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
