This Irish Soda Bread with Raisins is simply the best I’ve ever tasted. Made with sour cream to give it that extra bit of moist and rich flavoring. You will love this as a side to your St. Patrick’s Day dinner or delicious breakfast bread. Come on in and I’ll share the recipe with you…

I made this bread recipe as a side to our St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef and Cabbage. Bread is always one of the favorite sides to any meal. Some of our favorites include Quick No-Yeat Mayonnaise Rolls, Sweet Cornbread Muffins, and these pumpkin shaped dinner rolls

I quickly realized what an amazing breakfast this Irish Soda Bread would make. To me, this bread reminded me of a moist and fluffy scone.
