It's that time of year when every one is Irish! It's also that time of year when I look into my fridge to see if I have unsalted Butter and Buttermilk.  I will be baking Best Ever Irish Soda Bread this week. It is delicious! A slice warmed for a few seconds in the microwave to enjoy on St. Patrick's Day has become a tradition! This Irish Soda Bread is filled with plump Raisins.  They are plump, because they are soaked in hot water while I prepare the dough.  It does make a difference.

Ready to be placed in the oven.

I have also learned that slices of this delicious bread freeze well.

If you have never baked this yummy bread, bake one using this recipe.  I found it many years ago when I was searching for a recipe.  The ones that I had always seemed to be too dry.  You know, like the Irish Soda Breads that you purchase in the grocery stores.  This bread is just the best!
