Irish Whiskey Soda Bread image

I got this recipe from my friend Sue - it is the best Irish Soda Bread I have tasted and this is now my go to recipe! Great as an accompaniment to soups or stews. Very easy to make - serve warm with lots of butter!

Time 50m

Yield 2 Loaves, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter, chilled and cut in small cubes
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup liquid honey
1/4 cup Irish whiskey or 1/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons Irish whiskey
2 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease.
  • Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
  • With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, mix buttermilk, honey & whiskey.
  • Add all at once to dry mixture and stir just until no dry spots remain.
  • Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead for 1 minute (too much will toughen and too little will inhibit rising).
  • Divide dough in half and shape into round loaves.
  • Place on cookie sheet. With a floured knife cut a cross 1/2 inch deep in each loaf.
  • In small cup, combine whiskey and milk.
  • Brush loaves with glaze.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottoms. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
  • Cut into wedges or slices and serve warm.

This Irish Whiskey Soda Bread is a game-changer! The whiskey imparts a subtle warmth and complexity that elevates the classic soda bread recipe. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a tender crumb and a slightly crispy crust. Highly rec
