Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients as listed.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and softened butter. Stir in the buttermilk and egg until just combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead briefly, shape into a round, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cut an “X” into the top.
  • Bake for 30–40 minutes, brushing intermittently with melted butter for a golden top. Check for doneness after 30 minutes. While baking, begin preparing the shepherd’s pie.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté until softened.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Stir in the flour and cook briefly.
  • Add the beef broth, corn, peas, ground sage, and fresh thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and simmer until thickened.
  • Melt the butter and stir in the heavy cream. Mash the potatoes, gradually incorporating the butter and cream mixture, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the beef mixture to an oven-safe dish and spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top.
  • Broil until the potato topping is lightly golden.
  • Serve the shepherd’s pie with soda bread and milk.
