Recipe Reviews

18th March 2012

Zosia from Toronto, ON

I made this bread yesterday, in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. I have no idea how authentic this recipe is - all I can say is that it’s a tender, lightly sweetened loaf with a lovely crust, almost like a giant scone.

Despite the 4 pages of instructions, the dough comes together in ~5 minutes and bakes in 30. It's a simple mixture of flour (I used ½ whole wheat), sugar, soda (of course), butter and buttermilk.

I omitted the whiskey soaked raisins and didn’t make the whiskey butter, elements that would probably earn this an extra star, but it was delicious nonetheless and disappeared quickly. Next time, I’ll have to make 2!
