Happy St. Patrick's day everyone!
Irish Soda Bread
(Makes 1 loaf)
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 to 2 cups raisins
2 cups buttermilk
Coat raisins with flour (important). Mix baking soda and buttermilk together and set aside for a few minutes.
Cream (mix) the sugar, butter, and eggs.
Stir in everything else.
Bake 1 hour 15 minutes at 350 degrees F in greased bread pan (but do check after 50 minutes or so).
Make certain you set a timer!!!!
This bread browns easily, so don't take it out early, or you will end up with a loaf of bread with a big hole in the center!
If, by chance, you take it out of the pan and it "sags" in the center put it back in the pan and bake it some more. Chances are it should still be OK. It wont act like a yeast bread that "looses" its inflation. it will just "re-inflate"
