Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread

We have enjoyed the Irish brown bread during our visit and wanted to learn how to make it. We did in an engaging an fun environment. Highly recommended.

This was one stop on our trip to Ireland that I absolutely HAD to do. We were very excited because I love a baked good. We accidentally got our time wrong and arrived twenty minutes late! But Kate was kind enough to take us anyway and didn't make us feel rushed. We still got to do BOTH scone making and brown bread. We made two flavors of scones, blueberry and almond/pear (she let us pick). We had a nice time talking with Kate and she even was giving us suggestions for the area. After we finished baking we enjoyed eating some of our treats on the patio with some tea. She gave us a bag to carry out the rest (which we nibbled on throughout the rest of our trip). We also got recipe cards to take home. I am excited to bake these scones at home!

Great experience! Lots of fun with baking delicious scones and Irish bread! Recommend to anyone who’s visiting!!

We had a great experience baking scones and brown bread at Kate’s! We learned her technique of mixing the ingredients while taking about local customs and events! They put up with our many questions and need to turn the scone baking into a competition! We had a fabulous afternoon!

Kate is so lovely in welcoming strangers into her home to share her love of cooking, baking, and Ireland. I was overwhelmed walking into a room full of strangers and within minutes we were all talking like old friends surely in part due to Kate's hospitality. That aside, I love to bake and it's typically a slow and methodical process, but with Kate's expertise, we all made perfect scones and brown bread in what felt like 10 min each! She shared she hosts other events and BnB's her home and I'd recommend visiting with her somehow if the opportunity arises.
