Irish Soda Bread

By Ckelley116

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp white sugar
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tbsp butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cast-iron skillet.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and sugar. Toss the raisins with the flour mixture until coated. Make a well in the center and add the egg, buttermilk and melted butter. Stir until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few quick turns just to even out the dough. Handle the dough as little as possible. Pat into a flat circle, and place into the prepared pan.

3. Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes or until edges are golden.
