I followed this recipe almost to the letter (plus the 1/2 t salt recommended by someone and using both currants and raisins) and it was just blah. I'm not sure why people have liked this so much - heavy and tasteless. It's edible with butter and jam.

My first problem was that I seemed to have about a full cup too much flour. Maybe I messed that up somehow, I sometimes amaze myself. I used Craisins instead of raisins, which I liked. I also added salt, as suggested. And instead of using buttermilk, I chose plain greek yogurt, which I'm guessing is why my dough was too dry. I managed to salvage most of the dough, and I really enjoyed what remained. I liked my mediocre version enough to try it once more, with buttermilk.

My husband made this for our weekend get together with friends, left out the rasins in order not to mess with the flavor of the Irish Stew. Everyone enjoyed.

I used 1 cup of plain yogurt in place of the buttermilk. This recipe is very, very tasty. It's the one I will use all the time now. We go through the whole loaf in one meal every time. Thanks for capturing the ingredients for us!

I made this for the first time this St. Patrick's Day and it was great. It was easy to make and tasted delicious. The only thing is I needed about 1/2 cup more flour than directed. The dough was much too runny to try to knead, but after adding more flour, it was perfect. Thank you for the recipe!

Neither I nor hubs had ever tried Irish Soda Bread until now, nor have I ever made it. Now that we have, we differ in our opinions. I thought it heavy, with a dense crumb and flat taste, which didn't appeal to me. In addition, I noticed the recipe lacked salt. I meant to add some but forgot, and its absence was noticeable to me. I think it would have definitely heightened the flavor. Certainly no fault of the recipe, but I now know I'm not a huge fan of Irish Soda Bread, although it did make a pretty loaf. On the other hand, hubs said he didn't miss the salt, and loved the different texture of the bread. He also liked the slight tang and sweetness. He said Grandpa McAndrew had a darn fine recipe!

This was my first attempt to make Irish Soda Bread.... I was making my annual St Patty's Day dinner for my family and was going to pick some up from the grocery bakery.... but I saw this recipe and just had to try it!! I thought well I make my corn bread in the cast iron pot so why not this!! This was absolutely delicious!!!! I had everything but the buttermilk but replaced it with evap milk and the bread just came out fine. Like others have stated I added the raisins and a tad of salt and a little extra sugar. It was perfect. It's also a good recipe I think that u could experiment with. Next time I make this I WILL use the buttermilk and maybe more or different fruits. Yes I also agree it tastes the best with butter on it when warm... but u could always warm it up in your microwave. My husband and son enjoyed this. I will make again and probably for next St Patty's day too. PS it made a nice size loaf which we ate over half of it last night with dinner. I just had another piece this morning with a little butter for a snack. Really delish! Thanx so much for sharing this recipe!!!

This recipe is fantastic. I add more fruit than just raisins. I use green raisins, dried blueberries, dried cranberries, dried strawberries, and dried raspberries. (I re-hyrdrate mine in a little water first before combining them with the other ingredients so that they are a little softer and cook more fluidly. Moreover, I combine them with the buttermilk, egg, and butter before combining with the dry ingredients.) I also add a little salt. The other reviews are right that a little salt goes a LONG way in this recipe. Lastly, after the bread has cooked for 40 minutes, I quickly melt butter and baste it on top of the bread and cook it for the last 5 minutes that way. It gives the crust a nice crisp texture and golden glow. It's amazing. The other thing I would point out is that because this bread is so heavy and thick, I find it cooks better between 42 and 48 minutes... sometimes 50 (i've made this in multiple kitchens). Know your oven! :)

This is my first experience with Irish soda bread, and thanks to this recipe, it was a very good one! This bread has a very simple, but delicious flavor. Very soft and moist on the inside with a wonderful crunchy crust. I followed the recipe exactly, other than leaving out the raisins since I don't like them, and served with a little butter melted on the bread. Great recipe, will definitely make this again next St. Patrick's Day and probably even once or twice before then.

Wow! This bread is awesome! (As I am eating a piece right now...) I had to use the buttermilk substitute (lemon juice and milk) but other than that I followed directions exactly. This is definitely going to be a regular ,\menu item in my house. Thank you!

This is the most like the recipe I used to have and lost. I've been making it for the past 3 or 4 years and it's delicious! Just make sure you eat it while it is still warm...that's when it's the best.

This is the first time I have made or had Irish Soda Bread. From what I have heard this recipe is pretty accurate to taste, texture, and ingredients. I really liked it, followed the recipe and not reviewer recommendations but eyeballed the amount of raisins.

We all loved this bread. It is a great base recipe for those who prefer additional ingredients. We thought this was great just as it is, but I may play with it on occassion for variety as I plan on making this very often. What a hit!

I thought this was a good, easy receipe. I used the ingredients as stated and it turned out fine. I saw no need for salt as another reviewer suggested. It is supposed to be a flat, solid bread. It tasted great for the type of bread it is and I was looking for a traditional type Irish Soada bread for St. Patrick's day that was easy and this fit the bill.

This recipe was extremely easy, but pretty bland. This was my first time making Irish soda bread, so I don't know what it traditionally tastes like, but I sure wasn't crazy about it.
