My Irish grandma taught me this recipe, and I swear I make it all year long!

– To make it a little sweeter, mix in a tablespoon or two of sugar with the dry ingredients.

– A If you want to make your bread taste more like you, feel free to add raisins, dried cranberries, or caraway seeds.

– A Quickly swap 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with 1 3/4 cups of milk and let it settle for 5 minutes if you don’t have buttermilk on hand.

– A Toasting leftover bread the next day is a delicious use for it, and it keeps well in an airtight container.

– A The handcrafted quality and affection that goes into each mouthful are more important than whether or not the bread is flawless. Have fun, everyone!
