Irish Sour Cream Bread image

This is a delicious twist on the traditional Irish Soda Bread, that omits the "soda" entirely and substitutes sour cream for the traditional buttermilk. I think it makes the loaf more moist, sweet and delicious. It has become my favorite version. My husband got it from a colleague, whose great-grandmother (Mary Moriarty, born in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland in 1902) handed it down to her. Bravo Mary Moriarty!

This Irish Sour Cream Bread was a hit! The bread was moist and flavorful, with a slightly tangy taste from the sour cream. It was also very easy to make, and I didn't have any trouble finding the ingredients.
