More About This Recipe

  • Irish Soda Bread is so ... Irish. What could be better for St. Patty's Day? (Well, besides green beer.) How about Irish Soda Bread Biscuits? Butter. Biscuits. Buttery biscuits. I think that sums up what you need in life. Okay, okay, so maybe you need a bit more in life, but you definitely also need these Flaky Irish Soda Bread Biscuits. Inspired by a recipe from the Food Network, these little bebes of buttery goodness are a little sweet, a little savory and of course, buttery. I love them so much I make triple batches every time and eat them all in one sitting. Just kidding. Maybe. Serve them up with your favorite marmalade and, of course, extra butter. You’ll soon see why triple batches are necessary.
