Classic Irish Soda Bread
This traditional Irish soda bread can be made with an assortment of mix-ins such as dried fruit and nuts, but I like it with a handful of raisins. —Gloria Warczak, Cedarburg, Wisconsin

There seems to be an error in the ingredients list. The recipe directions, as written say to “add buttermilk” when clearly, there is no buttermilk in the ingredients list. As a seasoned cook/baker, I understand that the ingredient “3/4 cup Kerry Gold Butter”, should read, “3/4 cup buttermilk”. I’ll try the recipe, as I love soda bread, but to those less experienced bakers, please note this change.
easy one just fyi when add your raisins we call it railroad bread..irish soda bread never really used raisins...and use a cast iron skillet:) Derry girl!

What a great easy recipe. I added nuts and chopped dates and served with a butter, cream cheese and date spread.
I made this bread and used regular butter and 1 cup of buttermilk. I baked this bread in a round 9" greased and floured baking pan. This bread is moist and delicious-I sampled it after baking and shared the rest of the bread with my next-door neighbor on my floor.
Lovely Irish Soda Bread. Will be making this again.
I'm looking at the ingredients for this recipe. The recipe passed down from my Grandma (yes, Irish) does not call for brown sugar. And, we bake it in a pie pan. Oh, and if you put raisins in it, use the golden raisins. They bake better than the regular dark raisins!

I found the bread's direction easy to follow. The bread came out beautiful and delicious.
I made this for the first time, and it is delicious! It is similar to a scone, not too sweet. I added a combination of raisins and dried cranberries. I did not put the egg wash on the top, yet it came out a beautiful golden color. Will definitely make again.
