How Do You Make Traditional Irish Soda Bread With Buttermilk?
Traditional Irish Soda Bread ~ Family recipe from Ireland! Straight from my mother-in-law’s Dublin roots, wonderful traditional Irish soda bread. Make two loaves. Get ready to get your hands messy! The kids will love it! Start off by removing your rings from your fingers! Heat up the oven to 425 degrees and have your pan ready with parchment paper if you so desire. For your raisins, take 1 cup and add them to a pot of water, boil and cover for 5-10 minutes or til plump. Drain in colander and set aside. Now you will need: 4 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 cup of either brown or white sugar (granulated) 1 stick butter 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk In bowl, mix flour,salt,baking soda & powders, sugar … now it is time to get messy … add softened butter (you can nook it on defrost for 15 seconds or so depending on your microwave) and start to “mush” it together. Little “chunks” of butter is okay…it will be lumpy. Next make
