   1       tb           Sugar

  Soda Bread: This bread, which many consider the Irish
  soda bread, is usually served at high teas and other
  important occasions.
  
  Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking soda into a large
  bowl.  Stir in currants to coat with flour.  Stir in
  buttermilk just until flour is moistened.  Knead dough
  in bowl with lightly floured hands, 10 times. Turn
  dough out onto lightly floured cookie sheet and shape
  into an 8-inch round. Cut a cross into top with a
  floured knife.  Bake in hot oven (400 degrees), for 40
  minutes, until loaf turns golden and gives a hollow
  sound when tapped.  Cool completely before slicing.
