I'm making Irish Soda Bread in an hour and if I leave out the eggs and knead it extra well it'll turn out just fine, right? Right.

(Right?)

yes because you shouldn’t be putting eggs in it??? you gotta remember irish people are poor so there’s truly only four ingredients. you only need buttermilk, baking soda, flour, and salt. u can add sugar or butter if you’re fancy but at it’s most authentic its very simple.

edit oh also dont overwork it. its supposed to be lightly combined and a little rough okay

#the buttermilk is crucial for a lot of irish dishes idk why everyone tries to find a substitute for it #as if its not the backbone of irish baking #<- sorry that wasnt ur point but other people online try to do it #im. very passionate about soda bread i love it so soo much and its very nostalgic for me #anyways i wish i wasnt sick otherwise id be making it too cause my dad is making stew tonight #i love irish stew soooo much. stewing beef is just SO soo delicious #food #asks #anons #irish #this is easily one of my most irish posts. sorry for being passionate about our non existent culinary history #<- its the damn english’s fault btw #anyways yes the MOST authentic and traditional soda bread is four ingredients and anything else is frivolous
