For all of my Irish friends out there, here is my recipe for my fool proof Irish Soda Bread. Every year the stores near me have a run on this stuff like its really hard to make. Then you get versions of it that are just really yucky.
This is my tried and true one and only recipe for this St Patricks Day Staple. I hope you like it as much as I do!
Happy St Patricks Day!
