The butter in this recipe gives it the texture and flavor of a giant scone. Delicious! So easy, my 3 year old loved making this with me. Makes wonderful toast the following day!

I made this for the first time this weekend for two St. Patrick Day dinners. I made 3 loaves (one at a time) and they all turned out so delicious. I made one with walnuts and craisins, and two plain. Each type got rave reviews from our neighbors and my family. I did add a bit more buttermilk to the dough as it was a bit dry and was falling apart as I kneaded. This could have been the result of my measurements of flour since my 5 year old was assisting me. I loved the ease of using one bowl! The last one I baked at 350 degrees for a little longer because my oven tends to run hot. It was probably the best out of the three in terms of texture on the outside and in. I just made myself some toast with the leftovers...yum!

I added about a cup of currants to the dry ingredients before adding the wet. For me, that put it over the top delicious!

Easy to make in my kitchen aid mixer and it was a great accompaniment to our St Patrick's Day dinner.

This recipe was great. My husband loves this bread, he made it and said it's delicious. I can't speak myself on it bc I don't like irish soda bread. Said the only thing he'd change is to nclude raisins (he added 1cup) and caraway seeds (to your liking).

This was fantastic for a St. Patty's Day bread! Loved it. I baked mine in a stone pan at 350 for 65 mins and it was perfect. 50 mins wasn't long enough. Also sprinkled some sugar on top for sweetness. I added 1/3 cup of sugar instead of 1/4 cup, too. I let my bread sit for 30 minutes before putting it in the oven to let the baking soda and powder sit. Yummy!

This recipe is very easy. My only change was to use butter instead of margarine. The taste was also better the next day.

Very nice texture. Just as the recipe states it was very easy. The taste was delish. And just like I remember from Meals eaten in Traditional Irish establishments overseas. Super side for Irish stew.

Made this to accompany our corned beef and cabbage dinner for St. Patrick's Day. This recipe is "amazingly" easy and very nice. I've never had Irish Soda Bread so have nothing with which to compare. Loved the texture and biscuit like taste. After dinner I had some with butter and honey - yummmy!
