Ingredients
| 3 1/4 | cups wheat flour |
| 3/4 | cup white flour |
| 2 | teaspoons baking soda |
| 2 | teaspoons salt |
| 2 1/2 | cups buttermilk |
| 1 | tablespoon golden syrup (or honey) |
| 4 | teaspoons butter, melted |
Instructions
Mix the flours, soda and salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, golden syrup and butter. Use a large spoon to mix gently, just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Shape into a round on a baking sheet that has been lined with waxed paper. Cut a cross in the top with a sharp knife. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes, until the top is slightly cracked and
crusty. To check if done, tip the loaf and tap the base – it should sound hollow. Cool on a wire rack. Serves 12
