We can’t say enough about Irish soda bread — from pairing it with corned beef and cabbage to smearing with a dollop of Irish butter, it’s a must-have for your St. Patrick’s Day table. This year, why not switch it up with a few fun twists? Though these recipes are fundamentally similar (you can’t have soda bread without baking soda, after all!), there are minor changes — say, using lemon zest and walnuts or baking the dough as biscuits — that can make a huge difference. Bring on the Irish eats!

Don’t throw out those leftovers! When paired with tea, the biscuits’ scone-like consistency makes for an excellent breakfast or snack.
