Tasty Tuesday: Irish Soda Bread

Since St. Patrick's Day is this week, I thought it'd be fitting to post a recipe for something Irish-y.  And since many of our families are not too keen on cabbage, this recipe for Irish Soda Bread seemed a good choice.  Homemade bread is soooooo good, and this is an easy recipe for anyone to try.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted 

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Blend egg and buttermilk together, and add all at once to the flour mixture. Mix just until moistened. Stir in butter. Pour into prepared pan.
3. Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Wrap in foil for several hours, or overnight, for best flavor.
