Irish Whiskey Soda Bread

• Bread
• 4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup butter, chilled and cut in small cubes
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1/4 cup liquid honey
• 1/4 cup Irish whiskey or 1/4 cup buttermilk
• Glaze
• 2 teaspoons Irish whiskey
• 2 teaspoons milk

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease.
3. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
4. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, mix buttermilk, honey & whiskey.
6. Add all at once to dry mixture and stir just until no dry spots remain.
7. Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead for 1 minute (too much will toughen and too little will inhibit rising).
8. Divide dough in half and shape into round loaves.
9. Place on cookie sheet. With a floured knife cut a cross 1/2 inch deep in each loaf.
10. In small cup, combine whiskey and milk.
11. Brush loaves with glaze.
12. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottoms. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
13. Cut into wedges or slices and serve warm.
