St. Patrick's Day Recipe: CLASSIC Irish Soda Bread by Everyday Gourmet with Blakely

Mix together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Dice 6 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and rub it into the flour mixture until no large lumps remain.

Make a well in the center of the mixture and add 1 egg and 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk, whisking together until just combined.

Form the dough into a ball and place it into a greased cast iron skillet.

Dust hands with flour and shape the dough into a better ball.

Score the top of the dough with a serrated knife.

Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 35-40 minutes, covering with foil if it browns too quickly.
