- We make many kinds of bread at home namely, soda bread, pancakes, potatoe bread oat meal bread and boxty bread, Soda bread is made as follows: First you get flour and soda and salt and next mix it up well. Then you wet it with buttermilk or skim. You warm the pan and then put on the cake and bake it and let it cool for a while and then you eat it to your tea: Pancakes are made from flour, soda, salt, sweet-milk and a egg and sugar. The pan is greased and the pancakes are put on it and baked. Potatoe cake is made from potatoes and flour. You boil the potatoes and slice them. Then they are mixed and beaten well with flour. You put salt and a little milk in the mixture and flatten it out. After that you grease the pan and put the cake on it. Then you cut it in to divisions and bake it. Oat meal bread is made with oat meal and hot water and a little salt. These are mixed up and beaten well and flattened it out. You put the griddle beside the fire and leave the potatoe cake on it and cut it in parts and bake it.
