Irish Soda Bread (Edit recipe)

Irish Soda Bread is a tradition in my house on St. Patrick's Day! Only a few ingredients make this delicious quick bread. No need to be intimidated by this simple to follow recipe. It is a quick bread that does not require any yeast. It has a crusty outer shell and a soft inside that makes it delicious. The buttermilk gives it flavor along with the raisins which are my favorite part!

No yeast here! Baking soda is leavening agent. Can add cranberries instead of raisins or skip all together Be sure not to over mix. Only enough for ingredients to be blended.
