| Do any bakeries or markets around here make their own? (I'm not looking for the kind in the plastic bag that's shipped in.) |

| I think Spring Mill does-- might call them to confirm. |

| I'm interested, too. We're the Irish family slated to bring in soda bread for 30 first graders. Since I've never had soda bread, do you add anything to serve (like butter or icing)? Thanks. |

it is served with butter. some have caraway seeds. some are made with buttermilk. the one i make has sour cream. i used low-fat (don't use fat free).
3 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg pinch salt 16 oz (1 pint) sour cream 1 cup raisins (OK that might be a lot - but 1/2 one of those big boxes) 2 tsp baking powder 1/5 tsp baking soda Combine all ingredients in a bowl & mix well. The dough is extraordinarily sticky - best to use your hands. A spoon just won't cut it. Put it all in a buttered loaf pan, in a preheated 325 degree oven. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Yum! |
