Irish Soda Bread

Also in honor of St. Patrick's Day, a recipe for yummy bread. Like all recipes I can only tell you I think it delcious. You will have to try it to find out.

3 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. It is a very wet batter. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes at 325 degrees. It is done when a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, like a cake. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. If you leave it in the pan, it will be moist on the bottom.

I actually make it year round, not just St. Patrick's Day :-) It's quick and easy and tastes even better on the second day.

Hope you enjoy it as much as our family :-)
