Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. In a bowl, mix the flour, oats, salt and baking soda.
- 3. In another bowl, mix the Guinness, buttermilk, oil and honey. Stir the liquids together with a wooden spoon.
- 4. Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and stir with the wooden spoon to combine. Stir well until the consistency goes from runny to more like a damp sand.
- 5. Pat into small handfuls to form 12 mounds on the lined cookie sheet. Once all mounds are evened out, you can pat each into a rough round roll shape, about 3 inches diameter by 1-1 1/4 inches high.
- 6. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of oats over the rolls and put them into the oven for about 15 minutes, or until browned and done. Transfer each roll to a rack to cool just a little bit. Serve and enjoy!
ST. BRIGIDS OATEN BREAD FROM IRELAND
These chewy bread-cakes have been fed to children in Ireland for years, in the belief that vigorous chewing would strengthen their young jaws. The children of today like them because they are fun to eat. And because they are low in fat and high in fiber, they are definitely healthful. The loaf is cut in quarters, or "farls" before it is baked. This was sent to me from a friend in Belfast. I doubt that you can get much more Irish than that! *New NOTE -2/27/08* The recipe now has new instructions from Ireland and they make the world of difference! I have added my pix of the bread made using the new method.
