 Irish Soda Bread | Status Approved | | Name |  Irish Soda Bread | | Category | The Bakery, Breakfast | | Serves/Yields | 1 large loaf | | Source | Kate | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 30 minutes | | Cook Time | 1 hour | | Introduction | | With St Patricks Day right around the corner I thought it time to get out the soda bread recipe. This is a traditional irish soda bread and is wonderful for breakfast, spread with butter and honey. | | Ingredients | | 3 cups Unbleached white flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups raisins
1 tsp baking soda
1 Egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 sticks cold butter
1 cup buttermilk
| | Directions | | Step: 1 |
Preheat oven to 350F.
Sift the flour, baking powder, soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut
the butter into small pieces and add. Cut it into the flour with a pastry
blender until the mixture is the size of peas. Add the raisins and toss to
distribute evenly, using two forks.
Beat the egg in another bowl until very frothy. Beat in the honey. When
it is well blended, beat in the buttermilk.
Gradually pour the liquids into the flour, tossing all the while with a
fork so the mixture gets evenly moistened. Continue tossing lightly with
two forks until the batter comes together; it doesn't have to be completely
mixed and should be very rough and lumpy.
Butter a heavy skillet or casserole, 10 to 11 inches in diameter and 2 to
3 inches deep. Round is the traditional shape. Spoon batter into the
pan and push it gently to fill the pan. It can mound up somewhat in the
middle. Bake at 350 F about an hour or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on top
Cut into wedges and serve warm.
