Notes: Noni says: Gram made this from sour milk. I believe the original recipe called for buttermilk, but she only used sour milk. (If you don’t have sour milk, you can add 1 tbsp lemon juice to milk and let that sit for 10 minutes.) For a while, we lost the recipe, and I had several variations that my Son-In-Law, Mike, and husband, Jack, always said were just as good as the original Soda Bread… After several years of missing the recipe, I found the original recipe, plus the one that Gram made up until we found the original…It is 2020 now and I know this recipe is at least from the 1920’s!
