To get into the St. Patrick’s Day Spirit Emily and I made some Irish Soda Bread. Every year I have to make a few loaves since we devour it within the day and then I wonder why I only make it once a year for St. Patrick’s Day. I guess if I made it every day it wouldn’t be so special!
Baking Irish Soda Bread with Emily
I mixed the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a bowl and then Emily scooped it into the bowl.
Next, she dumped in a cup of raisins.
Then, poured in 1 1/3 cups buttermilk (we used milk soured with 1 tablespoon of vinegar)
Emily mixed it together and then I helped her make sure it was all mixed :0)
I gave Emily a piece to kneed. She was so excited to have her own piece to work with. I made a cross in the top of both loaves and put them in the oven to bake for 55 minutes (Emily’s mini loaf only took about 30 minutes to cook)
