I rarely ever rate a recipe this low but this is far from anything like Irish Soda bread. It is much too rich and the liquid ingredients are wrong - at least that is how I feel. Of course I was weaned on the stuff so tend to be critical!! There are much better recipes on this site.

Milk and sour cream are not an option. Without that extra moisture, it would be too dry. We loved the taste and texture. We will be making this again!

I agree that the buttermilk measurement must be wrong. I had to add another 2 cups of flour to get a dough that even resembled bread. It was still too moist. I ended up with something resembling a batter rather than dough. When finished, the texture was close to a banana nut bread. Not bad actually, but not the irish soda bread I was aiming for.

I love using raisins (light and dark), walnuts, and dried cranberries in this recipe. I highly recommend it.

I think the recipe should be 1/4 cup of buttermilk. I looked at a few others and that looked about right. Anyway, it turned out pretty good. I added raisins and fennel because I used to know someone that made it that way and it was always a big hit.
