1 Review of Soda Bread (Irish Whiskey Soda)

Tried your soda bread recipe this St. Pat's Day (instead of using our traditional family recipe). It is sort of a cross between Irish soda bread and Irish whiskey cake. The texture was a tad bit different, but the flavor was good, although a bit sweeter than the soda bread we are used to). I now have a new favorite to add to my growing list of 'fam faves'! (Anything with a "wee bit o' Jameson's" in it has got to be good, right?) I did make one slight change to your recipe....I soaked the raisins in the Jameson's for an hour or so before adding them to the dry ingredients (just because we prefer our raisins 'plumped'). Next time I make this (and there will be a next time) I think I will use sugar instead to cut the sweetness of the honey, and add some buttermilk to make up for the 'liquid' of the honey. We did enjoy it, thanks for posting.
