    I love Irish Soda Bread and generally pick up a loaf with some real Irish Butter. Almost did that today as a matter of fact but figured I’d wait a bit longer. I never thought of attempting to make it myself–hum—–

    My Irish sister-in-law is allergic to eggs, would an egg substitute work as well do you think? I’ll definitely be making this in the next few days.
