Here is the recipe for the Soda bread I served with my Amazingly Delicious Corned beef and cabbage. Everyone said it reminded them slightly of corn bread. I thought it would be yummy with honey butter slathered on. Or just plain butter. Or just plain.
Good stuff!

No need to adapt - the recipe is perfect as is!
4 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup margarine, softened ( I used butter)
4 tablespoon white sugar 1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda 1 egg
1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
I prefer a baking stone.
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine.
Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly.
Form dough into a round an place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted
butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Us a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the
top of the loaf.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the
loaf comes out clean, about 30 to 50 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter
mixture while it bakes.
