Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams currants
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the granulated sugar and currants, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread on its own, or pair with butter, jam, or honey for added sweetness.
