Irish soda bread with buttermilk and raisins is always a favorite among our readers and, most definitely, my family. For an elevated version, see my Spotted Dog Irish Soda Bread recipe, also known as railway cake, and read its historic Irish history.
Historic Origins
Irish soda bread recipes, with their humble ingredients and rustic charm, have a fascinating history. While often associated solely with Ireland, baking soda was also used as a leavening agent by Native Americans.
