| Best Irish Soda Bread (File photo) |
Add Buttermilk to your grocery list this week! It is one of the ingredients in Irish Soda Bread. You probably have tasted that delicious bread that is enjoyed on St. Patrick's Day. It is filled with raisins and oh so good! When you are thinking about your grocery list, add Raisins, too!
One year when I wanted to bake an Irish Soda Bread for this holiday I "googled" for a recipe that used 1 Cup of Buttermilk. The recipe I quickly found sounded so easy. I was intrigued by the hint of soaking the Raisins in hot water and then draining them before adding the Raisins to the dough. Oh, I was hooked to try the recipe. After baking the bread and letting it cool the first bite quickly told me that I would never search for another recipe for this bread again. It was that good! It was the Best Irish Soda Bread that I had ever tasted. This bread was filled with plump Raisins and it was moist. Yum!

**Over the years I have learned to melt the unsalted Butter and let it cool before adding it to the dry ingredients. It is easier to combine that way.
I have also learned that slices of this baked bread freeze very well. It is a treat to take a slice out of the freezer a month later and enjoy it at breakfast.
Bake an Irish Soda Bread to enjoy on the holiday when so many of us wear the color green.
Enjoy!
Yummy!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
