Irish Soda Bread
This is a great bread to make for St. Patrick’s Day. The bread is soft, slightly sweet and studded with raisins which you can leave out if you you’re not a fan.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup raisins, optional. original recipe does not call for raisins, but I added then after other suggested it
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Blend egg and buttermilk together, and add all at once to the flour mixture. Mix just until moistened. (The batter should be a bit lumpy and will come together and be more smooth after adding butter).
- Stir in butter.(The mixture should be smooth after blending the butter.) Add in raisins. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Wrap in foil for several hours, or overnight, for best flavor.
