Onion And Buttermilk Quick Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180 deg C, 350 deg F, Gas mark 4.
Sift flour into a large mixing bowl then stir in soup mix and chives.
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.
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.
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.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
