Irish soda bread is this amazingly easy biscuit-like loaf. I got this recipe from allrecipes.com, but adjusted it a little bit. The inside is delicious and soft, the outside nice and crunchy. It's great with butter and a cup of coffee. I think next time, I'll try making them into actual biscuits instead of one big loaf.
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1-1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Brush the loaf with the butter mixture again after 20 minutes while it bakes.
