For a richer flavor, use Irish butter instead of regular margarine. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup, then filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to add raisins, currants, or caraway seeds to the dough for a more traditional flavor. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
