In a measuring jug measure out the butter milk and then crack the egg in, using a fork mix together until fully combined. Pour in the buttermilk to the middle of the well you made, you can leave a couple of ounces aside to add as you need once you bring it together and see how wet it is.

Using one hand with the fingers outstretched like a claw, mix in the flour from the sides of the bowl until the dough comes together. You want this to be a wetter dough then if you were just making a normal soda bread, if necessary, add the remaining buttermilk.

You do not need to shape this dough, you can put it straight from the bowl to the oiled baking tin. Spread it out as close to the edges as you can. Pushing down with your fingertips to make a rough, uneven surface. Place the sliced cooked potato on top along with the onion and rosemary sprigs.
