Irish Soda Bread is a delicious quick bread that is very easy to prepare. I loved it the first time I ever tasted it was at my friend’s home. My friend is of Irish descent and she makes wonderful quick breads with spelt flour. Like all expert homemakers, she makes it with the touch of the fingers and the measure of the mind. There is no exact recipe or measurement but it comes out perfect each time.

St. Patrick’s Day, Corned Beef, and Irish Soda Bread

On St. Patrick’s Day, we are all Irish. Each year I prepare Corn Beef and Cabbage because the family enjoys it. I also make Irish Soda Bread from a recipe in a cookbook my boys gave me for my birthday some years back. The bread comes out perfect each time. It is moist and delicious and the aroma from the baked bread is just amazing! I like to eat it warm with butter and a cup of tea.

A delicious slice of Soda Bread.

Irish Breakfast Tea

Irish breakfast tea is a blend of several black teas, mainly Assam. It is full bodied and has a nice, rich amber color. To brew this tea, please check my post on Brewing the Perfect Cup of Black Tea.

Soda bread and Irish tea.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corn Beef and Cabbage always remind me of the old comic strip Bringing Up Father with Jiggs and Maggie. Jiggs was an Irishman who became rich in the United States but still maintained his old ways. He loved eating corned beef and cabbage, much to the consternation of his wife, Maggie who was a social climber out to impress. It was a fun syndicated strip to read.

    That looks like a great, big, scone and I think you know how mad I am for them – so I would of course, LOVE this! The texture look fantatic and I think I would be interesting to have fruit studded soda bread with a savoury dish like corned beef and cabbage.

    Btw, I've given you an award because I love your blog and recipes and I REALLY hope you accept it LOL Here's the link – hope you check it out!

    Biren,
    I made my first ever soda bread last year (and it contained bananas too) and can vouch at its simplicity to make. I'll be making it again, soon in fact now that you've tempted me again.
    Warm wishes.

    Perfect with a cup of tea on St. Paddy's Day (or any other day). The buttermilk must make is so moist.

    Mangocheeks – Yes, it is quick and easy to make. Can be made any time of the year as it was quite delicious with butter and of course, tea. Thanks for visiting!

    Cookin' Canuck – Yes, I like it with a cup of tea. Buttermilk really does make breads very moist 🙂
