    I've been making this recipe since I found it this past March and it's gotten rave reviews, including from a friend of mine who said it was as goor or better than teh soda bread she had on her trip to Ireland. It's an all around huge hit!!

    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!

    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.
