An Irish Recipe

We a had nice small crowd for our March meeting, only 4 people. There was too much fabulous food as usual. Diana made corned beef (even though she was not feeling well enough to come to the club ). Thank you Diana, it was delicious! We also had soda bread, potato chips with spinach and pesto dip, apple cake and apple sauce, irish cream brownies, and tea.

Here is the recipe I used for the soda bread:
1. TRADITIONAL IRISH SODA BREAD
A Recipe brought to America from Bessbrook, Ireland by Sarah Swan Stewart Jackson when she migrated to Greenwich, NY in 1910 with 2 small children to be with her husband William George Jackson

2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cup buttermilk or 1 cup milk and 3/4 cup yogurt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp boiling water
1 cup wheat flour
1 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 tsp salt

Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Then add baking soda mix to the buttermilk. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Place in bread pan. Bake 55 minutes at 350 degrees.


I used yogurt and milk instead of buying buttermilk. Make sure to dissolve the baking soda in hot water before adding it to the milk/buttermilk or your bread might rise in strange directions.
