--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3       c            Flour, whole wheat
   1       c            Flour, all purpose
   1       tb           Salt
   1       t            Baking soda
     3/4   ts           Baking powder
   1 1/2   c            Buttermilk, yogurt, or milk
                        -soured with lemon juice

  Combine the dry ingredients and mix thouroughly to
  distribute the soda and baking powder, then add enough
  buttermilk to make a soft dough but firm enough to
  hold its shape. Knead on a lightly floured board for 2
  or 3 minutes, until quite smooth and velvety. Form
  into a round loaf and place in a well buttered 8 inch
  cake pan or on a well buttered cookie sheet. Cut a
  cross on the top of the loaf with a very sharp floured
  knife. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 35-40
  minutes, or until the loaf is nicely browned and
  sounds hollow when rapped with the knuckles. (The
  cross will have spread open which is characteristic of
  soda bread.) From _Beard on Bread_.
