Today's TWD: Baking with Julia adventure is a basic, traditional loaf of
Irish Soda Bread - coincidentally, a nod to my Irish mother.
As usual I improvised a little. I didn't have buttermilk on hand so I used whole milk and lemon juice instead and let it curdle on the counter for about 20 minutes. It was nice and thick so I think it worked nicely...we'll see tomorrow how it affected the taste. Also, I got a little distracted talking with my son and my 1/2" cut on the top of the loaf was closer to 1" deep. A bit too much I think. Otherwise, I think all went well.
The loaf is straight out of the oven and is cooling on my counter -
and it smells delicious. Breakfast tomorrow will be Iris Soda Bread
toast and jam (if I can wait that long).
