Sorry,but I have to agree with one of the reviewers that this bread is dry. I have been making Irish soda bread since I was a pre teen (which Ilearned from my mother). If you omit the corntarch and add 4 tbls. of butter I think you will see a differnce. Good luck.

    I made this yesterday after working all day. Easy to make - house smelled soooo good while it was baking! This is the texture of the bread I remember having when I was younger on St. Patrick's Day. Thanks for sharing! Updated 3/17/08 - Many requests again for this wonderful bread. Quick and easy to make and so very good. Love the texture and the crust!

    This was so easy to make and I could hardly wait for it to be cool enough to slice! I had it with butter and home-made strawberry & rhubarb jam. Lovely! I used 50/50 plain and stoneground wholemeal flour as I prefer brown soda bread. I guess the wholemeal flour was the reason that I had to use additional buttermilk to bind it all together (about 1/4 cup). I'll defenitely be making this again! UPDATE I have finaly tried the recipe as it is written because I was out of wholemeal flour and just wanted to add, that it's still a great tasting soda bread, that I just can't stop eating!
