Could we have an equally outstanding recipe for scones in the not too far off future?

It's sound simply delicious! I hope it comes out as good as the brown bread I've eaten in Ireland!

This is the first recipe I've seen using butter but will give it a try. Place baked bread on cooling rack as soon as the bread can be taken out of the tin and cover immediately with a tea towel -- will keep the crust softer as the tea towel (dry) will keep the steam rising from the bread 'in'. No need to make it a damp tea towel.

This sounds like a pretty simple brown bread! I think I can handle it :) I love bread making and baking in general and the whole grain flour that I use if called Kamut Khorasan Wheat and I am hooked on it since it is so healthy and always has such a great texture! I can't wait to try this! Thanks :)

The recipe agrees with one I got with the Irish brown bread flour I got from the King Arthur folks. I find it takes a bit longer to bake then what is suggested in the recipe I have. My favorite thing for breakfast at an Irish B & B is brown bread. Of course one has to have the complete fry breakfast at any good Irish B & B.

Are there adjustments needed for high altitude? Denver isn't the mile-high city for nothing. We even have to make adjustments when using most packaged mixes.

Is 1 1/2 ts salt Table spoons or Teaspoons, a big difference in the final product

Good recipe just like we make it here in Kerry including the buttermilk rather than normal milk
