Homemade Irish Soda Bread

Irish soda bread is a great side for your St. Patty's Day meal. Below is how I make it. Chloe loves it so much, this year she asked that we send some in to her class, for their St. Patrick's Day celebration! 


Irish Soda Bread

Ingredients: 

4 cups flour 
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
2 cups of raisins
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup of buttermilk (if you don't have it, you can make with milk and vinegar)
1 cup of sour cream

Use a large cast iron pan or 9 in. round baking pan


Begin by setting your oven at 350 degrees. 
In a large bowl mix together, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and raisins. In another bowl, blend together, eggs, buttermilk, and sour cream. 

Stir the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Knead dough in the bowl, the dough will very sticky. 
Place the dough into the prepared cast iron skillet. Cut a slit in the top of the bread. Bake for 60-70 minutes. Cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!! 

*Note: 
I often make this without the raisins and it still tastes great!! :) 



Until next time...
