St Patty's Day Recipe

☘️ Wishing you a pot of gold this St. Patrick's Day 🌈

This week, I’ll be cooking some of my favorite St. Patty’s Day dishes (if they actually represent Irish cuisine is a discussion for a different day 😉). I have always loved celebrating St. Patty’s Day…a table filled with Corned Beef, Cabbage, Carrots, Potatoes and yummy Irish Soda Bread to soak up the juices. So here’s some ideas for your weekly family dinners featuring some Irish-American classics… read on for the recipe share too!

No St. Patty’s Day meal is complete without a side of delicious Irish Soda Bread. Over the years, I’ve cooked more St. Patty’s Day dinners than I can count clovers. I found most of the soda bread recipes were very dense. My recipe is more of a scone consistency and adding a butter-beer glaze on top adds a lovely crunch to each bite. “Expecto Patronum”

Chef Tip - Use Currants instead of Raisins (or mix together) to up your flavor game.

Irish Soda Bread

This Irish Soda Bread recipe is closer to a Scone consistency, less dense than a traditional soda bread. The butter beer glaze creates a rich amber finish that will sham-ROCK your St. Patty's Day feast.

Ingredients

• 4 to 4 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1 cup Currants or Raisins
• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
• 1 3/4 cups Buttermilk
• 1 cup Butter Beer Glaze (see recipe) or 1/2 cup of honey

• 12 oz Guinness
• 3 tbsp Honey

1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda in a large bowl.
3. Work the butter into the flour with your hands.
4. Add currants or raisins.
5. Make a well, add buttermilk, egg and knead into dough until it is too stiff to stir.
6. Dust hands with a little flour, then gently knead dough in the bowl just long enough to form a rough ball.
