Print: Irish Soda Bread from County Cork

This is my mother's easy soda bread recipe. She makes it several times a week for some function or another. My sister loves this so much she has to control herself or she would eat a whole one with a stick of butter! I usually only make this easy soda bread for events that my mother can't come to. Slice into wedges, butter, and enjoy!
