Irish Soda Bread

This is a fun Irish recipe to try for St. Patrick's Day!

Irish Soda Bread

3 c. flour

2 T. sugar

1 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

1/4 c. butter

1 egg

2 c. buttermilk

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut it butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a will in the flour mixture and add egg and buttermilk. Mix until just moistened. (Dough will look like biscuit dough.)

In a greased cake pan, form dough into a ball.

Bake at 350 F for about 45 minutes or until browned and sounds hollow when tapped.

This was my first time making this bread and I must say I like it. It is much like a large biscuit and tastes very good with jam or butter.

This will probably become a traditional St. Patrick's Day food for us. Enjoy!
