Irish Soda Bread in a Skillet
A basic version of Irish soda bread that is baked in a cast iron skillet. Try substituting the liquid with buttermilk or 1/2 cup cream plus 1/2 cup sour cream left to sit overnight. Try adding a tablespoon or so of sugar if you like your soda bread slightly sweet. Experiment until you get the flavor you remember.
