St. Patrick's Day Roundup

Hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day! I spent the evening celebrating with my family!

Quite the spread, eh?

Now, here at South Mill House, it wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without George's irish soda bread.  Grandpa George knew a thing or two about baking and his special recipe is the real deal! Liz, my sister, is now our official soda bread expert and she knocked my socks off this year!

Wowie zowie!

We decided that a recipe this good just had to be shared.  So from our kitchen to yours...

George's Soda Bread
4 c flour.

 1 c sugar. 

1 t salt. 

1 stick of butter. 

More raisins than you think is wise.
1.5 c buttermilk. 

1T banking soda. 

1 T baking powder. 

1 egg.

Wet into dry. Get a little messy. Shape into round loaf. Do not forget to cut the loaf to let the devil out. 375 bake till done.... About an hour. Best with butter, tea and the Clancy brothers.
