Irish Soda Cake

In my continuing love affair with oats....


2 cups oat flour
2 tablespoons sugar, honey or 1/2 tsp stevia
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup currants or currants and walnuts (leave out if using for regular bread or breadcrumbs)
1-1/2 cup buttermilk
(or same amount milk of choice, allowed to sit with 1 tb lemon or cider vinegar for 5 minutes to curdle)
1 egg or 2 tb flax gel
1 stick butter cold (or 3 oz coconut oil cold,or 1 stick margarine cold)

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and soda. A pastry knife makes this easier or you can use a fork or your fingers. Stir in currants, then stir in the buttermilk, stirring just until mixture is blended. Turn out onto a lightly oat floured surface and knead until uniform (as oatflour is low gluten or gf if you get gf oatflour you generally don't have to worry as much about over kneading) . Form dough into a round and put on parchment in a clean iron skillet or on a cookie sheet. I tend to get better results with the skillet.. Cut a cross on the top of the loaf. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes to reduce crumbling when you cut wedges. Serve warm with butter. Good with everything.
