Ingredients

4 cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

¾ teaspoon baking soda

6 tablespoons butter

1 ½ cups dark seedless raisins

1 tablespoon caraway seed

2 eggs

1 ½ cups buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart round casserole. In large bowl with fork, mix flour and the next 4 ingredients. With pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in raisins and caraway seeds.

In small bowl with fork, beat eggs slightly; remove 1 tablespoon and reserve. Stir buttermilk into remaining egg; stir into flour mixture just until flour is moistened (dough will be sticky).

Turn dough onto well-floured surface; knead about 10 strokes to mix thoroughly. Shape into a ball; place in casserole. In center of ball, cut 4-inch cross ¼ inch deep. Brush dough with reserved egg.

Bake about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool in casserole on wire rack 10 minutes; removed from casserole and cool completely on rack.

Makes 1 loaf.

I LOVE Irish Soda Bread and by it occasionally at local store called Henry's. It's great toasted in the mornings with butter and a hot cuppa coffee!

Thanks for the invite.I see we have the same Irish Soda bread recipe. I don't know the source for mine but I've been making it for about 15 years. Always for St Pat's day but the kids and grandkids want me to make it more often. If I did that it wouldn't be a special treat
