3 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. brown sugar or turbinado sugar
2 1/4 c. buttermilk
4 tbsp. melted butter

Combine dry ingredients, mixing well. Break up any brown sugar (or use turbinado sugar instead).

Using a wooden spoon, stir in liquid ingredients and melted butter.

Divide the dough into 2 loaves. Cut a X across the top (to let the devil out!).

Bake in a preheated 400°F for about 45 minutes or until browned on top. Cool on a wire rack.

Brush with melted butter while still warm. Soda bread doesn't keep well and is best the day it is made.
