I know that it is pretty straight forward and doesn’t have too many ingredients but sometimes I find that the simplest recipes, for example Yorkshire Pudding, can be the hardest to nail down. There seem to be a lot of variants in things like cooking time that affect the final product.

My recipe for Irish Soda Bread is from the New York Times. You cook it in a cast iron skillet in the oven. It comes out much moister than most other breads that I’ve ever tasted. I brought some to work today and someone told me it tasted more like Irish Soda Cake.

(I don’t use caraway seeds)

So, how do you like your Irish Soda Bread to taste? Do you have an old family recipe to share? Make sure you include info on the type of pan you use for it, etcetera….if you would be so kind as to share.

Thank you!
And oh yes, HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY!!
