This is not traditional Irish soda bread. If you want a giant biscuit loaf, this is the recipe for you. If you want something chewy and dense, find a recipe with milk or buttermilk, flour, soda and salt. While tasty, it’s good for high tea or breakfast binging, not for chowing down with boiled dinner.
Awesome recipe. I used pecans since they're sweeter, and I rolled the balls in a mixture of cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar. Make them the week of Thanksgiving to give away right before Christmas...yowza! Best part is that they go together in less than 20 mins. BTW, 2.5 cups of Vanilla Wafers is one box. :)
Excellent flavor, super easy to make. Went together and in jars in less than 20 minutes. I mixed it in my food processor and it worked fine on the mix setting, but one cup is about all I'd put in at a time. It makes a ton of dust, even with the lid on the chute. My mix yielded about 3 pint jars. One change I did make was 1/2 cup less sugar...I figured I'd try that suggestion and I'm glad I did. It's just sweet enough with 2 cups. I think you could easily make this with fat free creamer and Splenda or a Splenda/sugar combination for a lower calorie option. Next time I may try using vanilla infused sugar. This would make an excellent craft fair product, year-round hostess gift, Christmas gift, or even a get well gift.
Unbelievably down-home good. The chicken stew recipe I have always sought. The only slight change I made was to add a bit of Wondra flour to thicken the end product because that was a preference I have, but otherwise, this was great. A filling, satisfying, INEXPENSIVE meal. Plenty of leftovers!
