I haven't had great success with regular soda bread, but I do have a good recipe for a brown bread. And if you look over on my page, I've blogged a recipe for tea brack (a raisin bread that can be a fruitcake--with or without whiskey). anyway...

2 cups of white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1 3/4 cup buttermilk

Combine flour, salt, powder, soda and sugar. Cut in butter. Add egg to buttermilk and beat lightly. Gradually add milk mixture to dry ingredients. Form into two round loaves on a greased cookie sheet. Dough is very sticky, so you may want to use a little extra flour for this. Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.

Hi all!
I have a recipe for Irish cream. Sort of like Baileys.
1 3/4 c. liquor (Irish whiskey, rye, rum, bourbon or scotch)
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 c. whipping or light cream
4 eggs
2 tbsp. chocolate syrup
2 tsp. instant coffee
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
In blender combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Store tightly covered in refrigerator up to 1 month. Shake well before serving.
This is great in coffee

IRISH SODA BREAD

1 lb (450g) wholemeal flour
4oz (110g) plain flour
2oz (50g) rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 quarters of a pint (450ml) buttermilk

Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add enough buttermilk to form a soft dough and turn out onto a lightly floured board. Knead the dough very lightly and do not overwork or bread will develop gluten and become tough.
Shape into a large round and place on a greased baking tray. Cut a deep cross in the top of the round.

Bake at 450F/230C for 8-15 minutes. reduce temperature to 400F/200C for 20-25 minutes until load sounds hollow when tapped underneath.

Eat whilst still warm!

I Don't have any Irish Recipies I'm afraid, except for one's from books.
But i would love to hear other peoples. I love getting recipes from people, because then they are at least tried and true(ish).
I have noticed it's hard to get recipe's sometimes as people don't want to let them go (as if they would loose credit or something...not sure).
Anyhow, I really appreciat that you guys are all willing to share. For someone who is new to cooking it means a lot and helps a lot! :-)
If I do come accross some recipe's that I like and work well I will definately share!

I know what you mean! Personally I think that it is silly, what there momma didn’t teach em how to share or something! I have this recipe yeast rolls, only they are in the form of a trinity knot. They are beautiful. I will put it on here for everyone. Only I have to get my hubby to fix it for God only know I stink at making breads! Lol!
