This soda bread is made with soured milk. It's perfect when you have no buttermilk on hand. This traditional Irish recipe has been passed down through our family line and directly into our bellies. It requires very little kneading — just a light touch to shape it into a round loaf.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
-
1
Stir milk and vinegar together in a small bowl; allow to stand until curdled, about 10 minutes.
-
2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
-
3
Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; gradually stir in soured milk until dough just comes together. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface; knead lightly and shape into a round.
-
4
Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet. Cut an "X" into the top of the dough to release steam and help the bread keep its round shape while baking.
-
5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 45 minutes.

Eggnog Pancakes
You will love these big fluffy pancakes even if you don't like eggnog. It's a great way to start any day, especially Christmas morning. I suggest clarifying the butter but you don't have to if you don't want to.
Halloween Cyclops Cupcakes
These cyclops cupcakes are perfect for Halloween or for a kid's birthday party if your child likes one-eyed monsters. I used grapefruit leather for the mouth, but you can use other colored fruit leather as well.
Oatmeal Dried Fruit Cookies
These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.
