Irish Soda Bread

Happy belated Saint Patrick's Day!!

My stepmom is Irish, and for St. Paddy's Day we would always have Irish Soda Bread, Corned Beef, etc. I haven't had Irish Soda Bread in a long time, and was really craving it, especially with the holiday passing.

This isn't the same recipe she used to use, but it tastes pretty damn close.


Irish Soda Bread
recipe from www.hunwhatsfordinner.blogspot.com


3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 T baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup golden raisins (i didn't add, because I didn't have)
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 T melted butter, divided
1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and raisins in a large bowl. In a small bowl, beat the buttermilk, eggs, 2 tablespoons of the butter and vanilla until blended. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir until evenly moistened.
Spread batter in a greased 10-inch ovenproof frying pan or a spring form pan with removable sides. I didn't have these, but I used a regular loaf pan and it turned out fine. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Bake in a 350ยบ until bread is browned and pulls away from sides of pan (about 45 minutes). Let cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove rim. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 1 loaf.
