This was delicious and my husband loved it. I would make it again, but only if I have lots of people to eat it, for it was too much for two.

Tried this recipe for the first time on Saint Patrick's Day. Followed recipe exactly and it turned out great, everyone loved it. Made another one. Decided to lessen the sugar slightly and increase the b'milk slightly. Also put the raisins in hot water briefly before adding. Great recipe. Will make again and again.

I made this for our St. Patrick's Day brunch. Everyone loved it. Very easy to make and it tasted so butter. We like it with butter.

This was the first time I ever made (and ate) Irish soda bread. This recipe is easy, and the bread was delicious. I had buttermilk left over, so I made another loaf the next day. I followed the recipe as written, except I shorted the sugar (as I do in every recipe) and the raisins. This is a keeper -- thanks for sharing it!

The bread was easy to make and was moist and delicious. It was great toasted, too!

I've tried so many soda bread recipes I've lost count. I was skeptical about this one because it had no butter in it but decided to give it a try. It was wonderful. I didn't have a 9 inch cake pan so used a 10 inch casserole pan. It still rose quite high. My husband said it was the best soda bread I had ever made and that is saying something. I did make it with currants. I will definitely make this again and won't wait until St. Patrick's Day.

I have never had Irish soda bread and was anxious to try it. It turned out great and the family enjoyed it.

to the person who wants to put onions and cheese in this bread. Then it would not be Irish Soda Bread. Try some currants if you don't like raisins. You could also plump up the raisins in some boiling water before adding them to the bread just be sure to drain the raisins thoroughly before using them. I don't like candied fruit so I use raisins or currants.

Believe this recipe was in one of your other publications. I have made it with raisins, currants and candied cherries cut up (the kind used in fruitcake). There is no wrong way to make this bread. I am allergic to yeast and this recipe has been a life saver. Toast it and also make French toast with it.
