Summary

Name: Irish Soda Bread

Category: Baked Goods

3 cups all−purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 cup raisins

1 egg, beaten

1 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a cast iron skillet. 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 margarine. 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. Bake the bread for 40 to 45

minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden.
