Pioneer Irish Soda Bread image

I haven't tried this yet, but got this recipe from one of my kids history books, 'Pioneer Recipes', a 'Historic Communities' series. Here is the books description: 'This bread is quick and easy to make. It will give you a taste of the kind of bread Irish settlers offered their visitors. You can replace milk and vinegar with 1/2 C buttermilk.
