ORIGINALLY POSTED MARCH 16, 2012: Everyone loves a good Irish Soda Bread with their St. Patrick’s Day meal! This one was passed along to me by my father-in-law last winter and it was wonderful. I can’t wait to make it again this year. It’s probably the one and only recipe where I don’t think about subbing out the raisins for chocolate chips!!
INGREDIENTS
4 c flour
1 c white sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 pint sour cream
1 cup raisins
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Grease two 8×4″ loaf pans
Mix first five ingredients
Add eggs, sour cream and raisins
Mix until just combined
Distribute batter evenly between the two pans
Bake loaves 1 hour at 325 degrees
The Whole bag of Chips 
The sour cream must give a nice flavor to the bread.
I always use my grandmother’s recipe (I blogged about it today – http://thetinyhummingbird.blogspot.com/2012/03/hello-weekend_16.html) but I’ll have to try this one!
And I’ll have to check out yours!
