I found that the recipe needed more flour, approximately 1/2 cup to 1 cup more.

I am writing from Romania. It has been my first attempt at making Irish soda bread. I was simply curious, as I had never tasted it before. It came out quite well, though I believe I used a little bit more butter than I should have. It is indeed excellent with coffee or tea, or even with a glass of wine. Thank you for sharing!
