Grammy's Irish Soda Bread

By AnneS

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup raisins
• 3 eggs
• 1 pint sour cream
• caraway seeds (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, and plump raisins in warm water.
Mix the eggs with sour cream and add to dry ingredients. Drain the raisins and add them in. Dough should have a sticky consistency. Remove half the dough mixture and put on a floured board. Knead. Makes 2 loaves. Place on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Bread is done when you knock on the bottom, and it sounds hollow.
