For an extra layer of flavor, try using a smoked Cheddar or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 1/4 cups of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
The key to a tender soda bread is to avoid overmixing the dough. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
