Irish Soda Bread Recipe


Irish Soda Bread Recipe
A friend has been asking me for my Irish Soda Bread recipe so I decided to post at the same time. Originally from a Good Housekeeping cookbook, I make it every year for St. Patrick's day but it's good anytime.

Ingredients
  • 4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups dark seedless raisins
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seed
  • 2 eggs

Directions

I LOVE Irish Soda Bread and by it occasionally at local store called Henry's. It's great toasted in the mornings with butter and a hot cuppa coffee!


Thanks for the invite.I see we have the same Irish Soda bread recipe. I don't know the source for mine but I've been making it for about 15 years. Always for St Pat's day but the kids and grandkids want me to make it more often. If I did that it wouldn't be a special treat
