Irish Sour Cream Bread image

This is a delicious twist on the traditional Irish Soda Bread, that omits the "soda" entirely and substitutes sour cream for the traditional buttermilk. I think it makes the loaf more moist, sweet and delicious. It has become my favorite version. My husband got it from a colleague, whose great-grandmother (Mary Moriarty, born in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland in 1902) handed it down to her. Bravo Mary Moriarty!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as expected. It was a bit too dense and didn't have much flavor.

This bread was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter or milk next time.

This Irish sour cream bread was a delight! The texture was perfect - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The flavor was also great, with a slight tang from the sour cream.
