Sweet Irish Soda Bread
Here’s an awesome recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Lightly sweetened with a very tender crumb, it’s absolutely delicious all by itself, toasted with jam, or plain with a healthy schmear of Irish butter, which is our favorite way to eat it. There’s no yeast in this recipe, so it can be made in a fairly short amount of time. Just bring a stick of butter to room temperature, then mix, shape and bake. That’s it—give it a go!
