Here I was thinking "Ugh the world is just nuts" then I see Tipper has shared a recipe and vid and then I'm thinking "There are so many many wonderful people in this world!" Such joy you bring to people's day. Thank you Tipper!
Amen! Me too!
Cannot wait to try this... Thanks Tipper
And the sound of her happy crunching....🤗🍀🇨🇮👍
I agree 100%! 😊
I love Tipper’s videos...especially the cooking ones!
I grow up calling the knife “a case knife.” When I got married my husband called the knife “a butter knife.” That stuck so we call the knife “a butter knife” in our house. The bread looks delicious. I love the crunchy outside. I am going to try the bread recipe. I will put a cross and think of The Lord and how he gave his life for me. He is coming back real soon!
My mom and grandparents were all born in Ireland, and I make Irish soda bread regularly. It’s so good, so simple, and fast to throw together.
Thank you, Tipper.
can yall do the substitute with lemon juice and milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes I think that will work 😀
@@RunninUpThatHillh white vinegar will clabber milk, too.
@@LizbetPCB and doesnt make it taste like lemon either.
@@RunninUpThatHillh If you're planning ahead, leave out the amount of sweet milk you need over night and it'll wake up to be useful.
As an O'Malley I have had my share of soda bread. Always with rasins. This year I'm adding Caraway seeds too! That is very traditional. Ill post my results. The cross on top stands for the sign of the cross and then a traditional Irish baker would poke 4 holes between the cross to let the fairies out too! How fun a little Catholic and a little magic. ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🧚♀️☘🍀💒
I always add caraway seeds! Love them and they add a good flavor to it.
Sounds so good.
My mother used to mention soda bread.
She never cooked it to my knowledge.
Love watching you.
I'm 80 so I don't cook a lot anymore.
Love Irish soda bread. I usually bake a sweet version of this for breakfast and snacks. The recipe is almost identical except I add a 1/3 cup of sugar and about 1 cup of dried fruit (raisin, golden raisins, or blueberries). So good. It's like a large scone.
That's how I make it and love it but may try Tipper's version as an addition to soups and stews.
If I’m using whole wheat flour should I use yeast?
Hey Tipper, My husband wanted me to write and tell you something. I had to wait till I got straightened up after watching Corrie & Austin's wedding video. Whewwww, tear jerker for sure, lol. I'm so happy for them. Good grief you would have thought it was one of my kids getting married, lol. Ok, anyway, I made your biscuits with self-rising flour and heavy cream. I've tried every biscuit recipe you could imagine and they mostly came out heavy and on the dry side. BUT......I made yours this morning, and he said that they were the BEST biscuits that he had ever eaten! They were awful good, nice and light and moist. I'll never make them any other way (might try buttermilk one day). I'm 62 years old and it took me this long to make a good biscuit, lol. Thanks again!
Great story, Tammy! Happy times at the Henderson residence!
Tammy that is just wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with me 😀
Love this recipe, I do think I will try it, we love any kind of bread. My aunt who is 84 a couple weeks back we were in her kitchen she was making homemade pimento cheese & she asked me to get her a case knife out of the drawer & I looked for several minutes for like a pocket case knife (wondering why she would want one) I told her I don’t see one, she said there is a bunch in there & I said I must not know what a case knife is 🙂 she showed me & I was like oh that’s a butter knife.🙂 I had never heard it called that. Never to old to learn.
My 2 grand daughters love you every time I watch you and they are with me the day Appalachia clear as day
That makes my day Paul! Thank you for watching and please tell them I said hello 😀
Another great video Mrs Pressley!! Thanks! We love watching your cooking and stories of Appalachia!! My wife and I are Michiganders since our ancesters came to America. We watch another podcast from Appalachia and I have come to realize the Appalachian regions people of yesteryear REALLY know how to make the best of basic materials, surely, all our ancesters did, prehaps it was just transportation and trains were not as common as up North. Your work is definately interesting and very much appreciated.
Thank you 😀
My recipe, given to me from an old Irish mom with 11 kids, always includes caraway seeds and raisins. It delightful and perfect toasted with butter.
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Ireland! Here it's unusual to put butter in the recipe itself, we would usually make it with buttermilk. But it's lovely to see how recipes evolve as they travel - some of the best soda bread I ever had was when I lived in the US.
Thank you for letting us know 😀
It was adding that butter to it that made it so lip smackin' good! 😉☺️👍🏻
Beautiful bread and yet so simple. Definitely going to be trying this. We all need to be getting back to Granny’s basics of life. Thank You! -Tom & LeeAnn
I have not made Irish Soda Bread. Have pondered it many times, but just never have. You have encouraged me to do so and that crunch as well. Yum. And yes…I grew up calling it a case knife. Still do. I know you can feel like you can breathe with the wedding finally completed. I never saw a more precious bride saying her vows. She caused me to cry every time she bent those knees. So sweet.
Thank you Tammy!!
Took one out the oven not more than 2 minutes ago. Having honey and molasses and blackberry jam. It's been one of those days.
Ooooo I love blackberry jam!
My family has always made Irish soda biscuits but never the loaf. My grandmother made them 3x a day for each meal. I have never found a recipe or family that makes this specific type of biscuit and neither has anyone else in our family. It is truly a family recipe that has been handed down generationally by watching our mothers and grandmothers make them. They have the basic ingredients of this Irish Soda Bread and all the Irish breads I have researched but not exactly. There is no egg or butter or lard in it. You don’t roll them out or cut them out. And they are baked in a hot cast iron skillet with hot grease and fitted tightly together. They are wonderful and it seems through the generations that people who have married into the family fall in love with them. I wish I could locate their origin. Thank you for your videos it is so fun to see how many traditions you grew up with that I also grew up with.
Great looking bread. Thank you, Tipper. You are the patron saint of country cooking.
I used to make Irish Soda Bread when I had family at home to help eat it. I haven't made it in quite some time but that looks so yummy I may have to make it again!
My mom talked about my grandma working biscuit dough with her fingers, same as your granny. She called her an artist, so your comment reminded me of that
Looks good! My mom, who’s from Iredell County, uses a recipe with raisins. It’s so good, and we always have it on St. Paddy’s day.
I've always had it with raisins too. My dad grew up in Appalachia in Pennsylvania.
Love that 😀
Being of Irish descent, the recipe in my family has raisins in ours too, and everyone I know always makes it with raisins. Since I am writing this on St. Patty's Day, I'm gonna bake up a loaf today. You should really consider adding raisins to this recipe. "Tis not be a fittin' loaf without 'em!" ☘ ☘ ☘
My sister’s mother-in-law adds raisins and caraway seeds. It’s also really good.
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I learn history and new recipes from them every time I watch one!🙂
I'm so glad! Thank you 😀
Great timing! Soda bread is a tradition for us on St Patrick's day. We're not Irish, but in Montana that holiday has been sorta adopted by all immigrant families working together in the mines & logging. The food is the best part to remember. (I'll leave the green beer boilermakers as an interesting bit of my childhood)
I love my Scotch-Irish heritage! I’m going to make this bread for St Patrick’s Day and surprise my family!
I love Irish Soda bread. Some people I know don't like it, say it's dry. Love it sweeter with raisins. Yum. I will try this version. Thanks for the recipes. I have tried some and I really like them.
Mrs.Tipper thank you for the recipe! We are celebrating my son's 26th birthday this Saturday and I'm gonna take a loaf. I also wanted to thank you for telling us about the Homesteading Pastor. I checked out his channel and watched his devotional regarding prayer. It deeply blessed my soul. God bless you guys!
Wonderful!!
I was thinking about this bread a couple days ago! My mom called it biscuit bread. I loved it with butter and jelly😋
Printed this recipe as we do for the other recipes. We pay special attention to the cooking videos because we can see food prepared in a home kitchen. Your work in preserving Appalachian culture is special.
Well I do declare that this lovely southern bell reminds me so much of my 2nd grade school teacher.
The ginger of room 14.
Just had this real kind and peaceful energy about her.
And of course that soda bread looks delicious!!
Thank you 😀
This looks so good, thank you Tipper! That crunch sounds delicious!
We called the knife a “case” knife growing up ⬆️ in Southern WV. Soda bread is sooooooo good down in beef stew and chili.
Love these food videos. Soda bread warm from the oven with lashings of butter. If it doesn’t drip off your elbow it’s not enough. Writing about gin today and vanilla tomorrow. I love my job… and yours too! Hope you are recovered from wedding excitement x
Thank you Chrissie! I'm getting there 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia big changes but wonderful ones. X
I was born in 1960 and spent my first 58 years on Long Island. I moved to the very Northwest corner of NC in Ashe County to my farm full time in 2018. I've never been so happy to put NY in my review mirror for the last time. When we would make Irish Soda Bread we would also add raisins and if you like caraway seeds, we would add that as well. I love caraway seeds. My heart ached for the mountains and when we found this place in 2011 I hit my knees and wept. I got saved in 2018 as well and I see God everywhere I look here. This area, funny enough, is VERY similar to the way Long Island was when I grew up. We all waved as we drove by each other, we did massive gardens and put up lots of food. The phrases and words were similar. I always remember my grandfather saying it was "prit near" dinner time and he was "fixin to" do something. Call me strange, but I feel at home here. Tipper, if I never leave the borders of Ashe County again, I will die happy. My husband and I adore your channel, and the girls channel too. Thank you for making me love these mountains all the more by learning their history.
So glad you enjoy what we do 😀 Thank you!!
This will be good with the corned beef and cabbage. We will have to check out that cookbook.Cookbooks with stories are the best. We will definitely be trying this recipe. Thank you so much for mentioning us in your video. Have a great day.
Made my first loaf of soda bread using your video. Thanks for sharing, it turned out perfect!
The Irish Soda Bread looks so easy and delicious. Am going to add it to my bread list. Thank you so much for the recipe! Loved the crunchy sound. God bless your family. 🌹🌹
Happy St Patrick's Day!! 💚☘☘☘☘ I love soda bread, I love making recipes that link me back to family heritage. This is such a great video thank you Tipper xx
I love Irish soda bread! Thank you so much for the recipe Tipper. I’m going to look for that cook book. Thank you so much!
I have been wanting to make soda bread for a while, and now I will. It looks delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Thank you for sharing, Tipper. I haven't made this bread in many years, but you've inspired me to get baking! Blessings and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I literally just finished supper (and I shouldn't be hungry), but that bread has my mouth watering. I love good bread.
Your house must smell wonderful, I love the smell of biscuits or any other bread baking! Thanks again for sharing your great recipes, everyone please stay safe and keep Well. God bless you and yours!!! Better than bread is your recollections of Appalachia and it’s rich history!!!
YAYYYYY! I LOVE it when you cook!!!! Thank you Tipper!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍♥️‼️🥰🤣🦋🌝
😀
You can’t beat good food! ❤️
Looks easy and good! Thanks for sharing!
Have always wanted to try this so appreciate your recipe and video - thank you Tipper 🌸🌸☘️🌺🌺
Your bread looks wonderful! My grandpa was Irish, so I should try this recipe! I love fresh baked bread of any kind. Bread fresh from the oven with butter spread on it is one of my favorite things to eat. In fact, I could easily leave behind the meat or whatever else was cooked to go with the meal and just make my meal off the bread.....especially fresh cornbread. I just love it! Have a great evening!
Yum. Thanks for including this. Soda bread is delicious.
Looks wonderful!!
The bread looks delish. With diabetes I have to watch my carb intake but would love to try some. Also I watched the wedding video. Everything looked so beautiful. Congratulations to you all.
My husband and I love Irish Soda Bread. We have always bought it so I’m very happy to have a recipe now. Thank you.
You are welcome 😀
Great video, as usual! This looks so easy I could do it!
God bless all here.
Tipper, you made me hungry! lol That crunch sounds amazing! Thanks for the recipe!
Omgoodness! That looks amazing! Going to try this! 💝
I love Irish Soda Bread, especially with raisins and caraway seeds, but will certainly try your recipe; just the crunch alone sounded delicious. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful information in such a loving way. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for showing how to make this wonderful bread! 😊
😀
Thank you for sharing. Enjoy watching.
Thank you Tipper for this video. I always wanted to make soda bread. My mouth was watering watching you eat your fresh baked bread.

You are so welcome 😀
I like this bread. Thanks Tipper.
I raised up.my children, you cut the cross in it to bless it and them that eat it.
Also, to remember Christ's part in St.Patrick's life and that if we choose Him, He will do the same for us.
Heard different parts of this along the way and just pulled it all together for them.
Hoping they pass it along.
That looks yummy. I’m going to try this with raisins. Thank you 😊
Love watching your videos!
Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them!
Looks yummy 😋 can't wait to try it

Glad you liked it!!
That looks and “sounds” really good. I’ll try it!
Yummm… Have been in a bread-making mood, so I just might have to make that up today!
The bread looks simple to make & delicious. Even I could do it.
Just in time for st. Patrick’s day! Soda bread will be added to the menu 👍🏻 Thank you!
I'm made some yesterday I always add raisins, enjoyed a slice this morning. Blessings to you and your family and happy st Patrick's day!
Haven't ever made soda bread but I'd like to try this ---- looks simple to make & delicious !!!!

I loovvveeee Irish ☘️ soda bread! 😋❤️
I remember my best friend and I were going on a trip to California to see her brother and her mom who was proud of her husband's heritage of being a true Irishman sent a loaf of Irish Soda Bread with us to have with tea when we finished our daily long drives. I remember it being sooo good with lots of butter on it and hot tea. It was so comforting. So I decided this morning I wanted to make some and finny how things happen but your channel popped up with the recipe. I should have known that!! HAHA. Well I am off to the store soon as I need a few things. Feeling lots better thank God. I'll let ya know how it turned out!
Love that! I hope you enjoy it!
Love Irish Soda Bread - make it all the time because its so quick & easy to throw together & always have the ingredients on hand - also inexpensive! Tipper love your channel si blessed to have found you & learn about Appalachia & her ways. You, Matt & your girls are a joy to watch & listen to - y'all are a lot like the folks & family here in the Mississippi Delta & Hill Country - keep doing what you're doing -
Thank you Karen 😀
First time viewer, really lovely video. Thank you.
Welcome and thank you 😀
Definitely want to give this a try! Looks super yummy and I’m sure my family would love it. On a side note, I followed your recipe for cubed steak and it was marvelous! Thanks for always being willing to share recipes and all things Appalachia!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I miss my grandmother's Irish soda bread and hot cross buns! We used the bread to make left over corned beef sandwiches, even if there were raisins in it! Thank You for sharing your recipe!
You are welcome 😀
Just hearing the crunch of the crust is enough to get me to make one LOL Thank you for sharing!
It's so good! 😀
I love Irish Soda bread! My ancestors came from Ireland so, I have a lot of the old recipes. Love them! You and the Deer Slayer looked great at the wedding! Beautiful day!!!
Thank you 😀
Late watching by about a day. But definately will be trying this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for adding this recipe, Tipper! My oldest son started making Irish Soda Bread in high school for either his foreign language class, or international day. It soon became a hit in our household! We have tweaked the recipe a bit by adding craisins and either pecans or walnuts, and have at times put a drizzle of glaze over top! Again, thank you so much for posting - I so enjoy all of your videos! Have a great day!
Sounds great!
I have made Irish soda bread many times, but often include golden raisins in it. Thank you for sharing! We so enjoy your company!
The raisins sound delicious.
You are so welcome 😀
Yum so good. Congratulations to you all.
Going to try this for supper tonight.♥️🇨🇦
Looks yummy!
I learned this recipe many years ago, and is one of my “go-to” for a quick bread make. And you are so right it is Very Good especially with some sourwood honey while still warm🤤
I also have to laugh at the word
Baking sodey 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😀
Another great recipe, keep’em coming! I’ll definitely try this. Looking forward to you trying the recipe that you read on the previous L language video. Thank you, Tipper! 😊🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed this one Gary 😀
Well I’ll be ! Grate your butter . Totally going to do this now too . Thanks Tipper . P.s You & Matt looked very beautiful too at Austin and Cori ’s wedding ! How great did that go over . What a super wonderful friend you have , to loan you their home . God Bless their sweet ♥️
We called it a case knife growing up too. Now we call it a dinner knife. This really looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome 😀
Great recipe! We had for dinner tonight. Thanks
Wonderful 😀
I have always heard of Irish soda bread, but never tried it before. Now, I want to try it. Also, we call them butter knives. Thank you for sharing.
Really great idea to use the grater for the butter...
I have always loved the taste of baking soda....it reminds me of my Grandmother Campbells biscuits....
And yes...I call it a case knife
The bread looks so good.
As always...enjoy your videos....❤❤
Thank you 😀
The best time of year to explore the woodlands is in the spring. To spot the bright colors among the leafless trees is where a homestead once stood. I live close to a 30,000 acre National Park and enjoy hiking the 30 miles of trails to explore the old gravesites and now-defunct homes of those who were here before me. Preservation is necessary and should take precedence. I will be preparing Cornbeef and Cabbage for St. Patrick's day and maybe some Soda Bread now - thanks to you!
Looks so yummy
You mentioned Fontana Dam and that brought back memories of when we went camping there many years ago. Also when you used your pastry cutter, that remined me of my mother's cutter with the green wood handle. I still use it once in awhile. We like soda bread with raisins and also what we call tea bisquits. Very interesting video. Thankyou......................
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Irish Soda Bread and hot tea..my favorites. Our family recipe has lots of dark raisins and also caraway seed. My Ireland born Nana made a large loaf for every visit.
