Happy St Patrick’s day guys! Recipe of the day is Irish Soda Bread with Raisins – simple but super delicious bread!
This lovely bread uses really simple cupboard ingredients -flour, bicarbonate of soda, raisins and buttermilk. To make your own buttermilk, simply add a tbsp of white wine vinegar into a glass of milk.
