Onion and Buttermilk Quick Bread

Ingredients

• 375 g self raising flour
• 35 g French onion soup mix
• 2 tablespoons chives, snipped
• 435 ml buttermilk
• buttermilk, extra

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180 deg C, 350 deg F, Gas mark 4.

2. 2

   Sift flour into a large mixing bowl then stir in soup mix and chives.

3. 3

   Use a flat-bladed knife, and a cutting action, to mix in the buttermilk. This should form a soft dough. Use the extra buttermilk to achieve this consistency, if too dry.

4. 4

   Lightly flour your work surface. Turn out dough and quickly knead into a smooth ball. Divide into 4 even pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

5. 5

   Place balls onto a floured baking tray. Allow room for each to rise. Sift a little flour over the top and make a slash, with a sharp knife, across each loaf.

6. 6

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
