Quick and easy recipe. Though I feel traditional soda bread (as I know it) is made with raisins. I felt it was missing the extra sweetness and moisture that raisins can bring. I’ll bring them into the recipe on my next try.
I made this recipe for St. Patrick’s day and I will definitely make it again. One thing the recipie doesn’t include is raisins, which I think are an essential in soda bread.
Very good. Ii made it in a pie plate because none of my skillets can go in the oven and it worked fine. I liked the lemon zest. Gave it a nice bright pop of flavor. Great with potato soup.
