Loved this recipe! I had to add a few minutes to the baking time as some others mentioned, but otherwise it was great. The kids loved it!

AWESOME! Easy recipe and so good. I used 1 cup of soaked raisins and 1 scant cup of buttermilk...because I had it on hand . Good thing it made 2, because we gobbled up the first one in no time flat. I will make this again and share with all my friends. Thanks for sharing Nana Dot's delicious recipe.

This was a great recipe for irish soda bread. I wish it was a little more moist. That was my only complaint but I think that's the nature of soda bread.

I made these for my kindergarten classroom last year to celebrate an authentic St. Patrick's day. It was delicious and kid-approved!

I could tell this bread was going to be excellent by the beautiful, marshmallow-y feel of the dough! I used white flour and all raisins - since I didn't have currants on hand. Also didn't use the caraway seed - we really don't care for them. I baked at 400 for 15 minutes, then covered with foil and baked for another 15 minutes at 375.....but at that point - they weren't done - so I baked them uncovered for another 6 minutes... - they still weren't done - so baked, covered for another entire 10 minutes....then were perfect!....must be my oven! The flavor was perfect - not too sweet - not too savory - not too crumbly - if cut with a really sharp steak knife. Thanks - will always use this recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yummy-licious!!!!!

A very reliable recipe! I omitted the currants and the caraway seeds. I also added an extra tablespoon of sugar ( a sweet tooth is a major trait in my family). Sometimes I use lemon juice instead of the apple cider vinegar, it adds a very faint lemon taste which my sister really likes. This recipe is definitley a family favorite!

I have made this now several times and everyone I share this with absolutely loves it. To cut calories, I use skim milk and sometimes applesauce in place of the butter. Still delicious - just love those family recipes!

This bread had a delicious taste but was very crumbly when cut into slices. So we were buttering "pieces" rather than a "slice." Maybe that's the nature of the beast, or maybe I did something wrong ... I very rarely bake anything. I'm giving it a 4 only because of the consistency. But the taste was definitely a 5.
