(Non)Traditional Irish Soda Bread!

Daniel | May 23, 2008

Welcome to the second edition of Dough! I really enjoy doing these articles, because I get to play with the camera and I get to eat the results. This week I made what is not a traditional Irish soda bread. It’s more of an American St. Paddy’s Day Traditional Irish soda cake. It’s also delightful.

I was going to make an honest to goodness Irish soda bread, but the recipe on the Society for the Preservation of Irish Soda Bread’s website had a warning that a fluid cup contains 8 ounces of liquid. A dry ingredient cup contains around 4 ounces by weight. It threw me a bit, and I don’t have a kitchen scale. I think I’ve worked out the conversion, so I’ll try the “real deal” traditional soda bread next time. For now, let’s take a look at what we’re going to be snacking on this Memorial Day Weekend at The Art of Zen Living!
