IRISH SODA BREAD
Irish Soda Bread: This is a classic quick bread from Ireland, which takes its name from the fact that it uses baking soda for leavening. It is usually made with buttermilk, baked on the griddle or in the oven, and sometimes has raisins (currants) and caraway seeds added. Before baking, a cross is cut on the top with a knife, supposedly to ward off the devil.
