Amy Halloran, Flour Ambassador, uses maple syrup as the sweetener for this soda bread.
Ingredients
3 cups flour (soft white wheat)
1 tsp soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 TBSP butter softened
1/3 cup yogurt
2 TBSP maple syrup
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Mix dry ingredients, and incorporate softened butter with your fingers. Add liquids all at once. Knead lightly, very lightly, and shape into 2 rounds. Cut with many crosses to facilitate even baking, and bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for about 40 minutes. Coat with 1 to 2 TBSP butter to soften the crust. Drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
