Her recipes are always delicious! Never had one go wrong.
As much as I love her and John Kanell, the one recipe of theirs I cannot get to work, are the ones for cookies that must hold their shape (think stamped).

This is the Irish Soda Bread Recipe from an old cook book full of excellent recipes.
4 cups unbleached AP flour
2 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoon unsalted butter or shortening
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups buttermilk or sour milk (Sour milk made with 1 1/3 c milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cups dried currants or raisins
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
Extra flour, for dusting
In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in the butter or rub between fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the baking soda and salt and stir with fingers. Add buttermilk, egg, currants, and caraway seeds; mix until smooth. Turn out onto a floured work surface.
Shape the dough into a ball, smooth side up, and gently press the top down. Sift or dust flour over the top and place on an ungreased baking sheet, an 8 inch pie an, or cake pan, or a cast iron skillet. Cut two 1/4 inch slashes from end to end in the form of a cross. The cuts will expand in the oven and give the bread its traditional shape.
Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven until the crust feels firm when touched lightly in the center with your fingertips, about 45 minutes. If the center is still soft, continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes more.
Makes 1 loaf.

It is definitely tried and true (made in a cast iron skillet).
I'm the one who posted the recipe above. It of course was traditionally made in a cast iron skillet; but we don't happen to have one these days. Works just as well in 9" round Wilton cake pans or non-stick skillet can that go in the oven.

I love the soda bread at 4 Provinces in falls church. It’s kinda yellowish. Is there egg in it? Does anyone have a recipe similar?

Our recipe is similar to the above, although we do not put any raisins or the like. We top with butter once we make the cross and then sprinkle some sugar on top!

My husband makes this frequently. It's the recipe his grandmother and mother used. It is on the drier side and is not a "sweet" dough; but it does use caraway seeds and you can always add currants. I requested it with "craisins" instead of raisins (and no caraway) years ago and liked that; but he's a "stick to the recipe" type.
It makes one large or two small loaves.
"A" Ingredients:
4-1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 c sugar
1/4 (4 Tb) butter, softened
"B" Ingredients:
2 c raising
2 tsp caraway seeds
"C" Ingredients:
1 egg
1-3/4 c buttermilk (we usually don't have buttermilk, so uses 1 c milk + 1 to 1-1/2 Tb white vinegar)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
1. Combine "A" ingredients, cut in butter with hands until crumbly
2. Add "B" ingredients to "A"
3. In separate bowl, combine "C" ingredients: beat egg lightly, then add buttermilk
4. Stir "C" into "A and B"
5. Pour out onto kneading board, knead until smooth -- but don't over-knead
6. For two loaves, cut into 2 doughs, shape and place in pie pans
7. Cut "cross" into the top of the doughs
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until toothpick comes out clean
*Suggest slightly under-baking (slightly) and maybe let sit in oven a few minutes after turning it off. Obviously, one large loaf would need to cook a little longer. It's a bit of a science experiment determining what works best with your oven and for your tastes.
Good luck. I'd be curious what you think, if you try it.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
