Eliza Jane and Hannah wish you a very happy St. Patrick’s Day!  This morning, to celebrate, Hannah baked Irish Soda Bread for breakfast, which made all her sisters quite happy indeed ❤

Getting ready… covered cast iron casserole pots are just right for baking crusty soda bread…

Stirring in the buttermilk…

Ready to go into the oven.

The doll’s loaves, fragrant and piping hot!

Golden brown crust…

mmmmmmmmm…

Cat proof cooling!

Irish Soda Bread with raisins.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Hannah’s favorite recipe comes from The Society for the Preservation of Irish Soda Bread. She prefers the recipe for White Soda Bread.  She did stray from tradition and add raisins, which would actually make her bread “spotted dog”.  Hannah is quite fond of both raisins and dogs… ❤
