Ran out of bread

[izwozral]

So I made Aunt Kathy's Irish Soda Bread, incredibly easy.

Aunt Kathy's Irish Soda Bread

Try this old family recipe from Ireland's County Cork next time you want a loaf of soda bread.

I didn't have any caraway seeds so used cumin seeds instead as both are from the parsley family.

I remember my mother used to leave a pint of milk to sour in the sunshine and then use it to make bread which was superb.
Not sure if this was 'soda bread' as such but it tasted great. She was from Cork also.

I wonder if that is like buttermilk which can be made by adding a little lemon juice to milk, leave to stand for a short while until it starts to curdle?
A lot of soda bread recipes call for buttermilk.

I have tried a few times using recipies found on the net to make it but alas while it is OK it's not how I remember. Of course that could be my memory.
Two things I do remember about the milk was:-
1. In summer leave it out to sour to make bread.
2. In winter bring it in quick or else birds would peck through the top and have some cream.

I make my own, add 1tbsp of lemon juice or cider vinegar to 300ml of any kind of milk, dairy or non dairy. Doesn't need to stand as it reacts instantly....

That was the only bread my father ever had as a child in Scotland. Occasionally as a big treat his mum would add some sultanas.
He still had vivid memories of the sweetness of the sultanas even in his nineties.

I love soda bread. My mother used to make it a lot when I was a kid (she was from a southern Irish family).

 

[Debroos]
