Who can resist homemade Irish breads? Not me, so last week I bought a copy of the Ballymaloe Bread Book, and I've been busy trying out some of the recipes. The scones and hot cross buns were most excellent, and you've just got to try these yummy orange butter scones.
I've hunted down some Ballymaloe recipes on the web for you. Here, have a look at these:
