Aggie's Irish Soda Bread Recipe
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 3 c. Unbleached white flour
- 2 tsp Baking pwdr
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 12 Tbsp. (1 1/2 sticks) cool, sweet butter
- 2 c. Raisins
- 1 x Egg
- 1/2 c. Honey
- 1 c. Buttermilk
Directions
- Makes 1 large loaf.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Sift the flour, baking pwdr, soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pcs and add in. Cut it into the flour with a pastry blender till the mix is the size of peas. Add in the raisins and toss to distribute proportionately, using two forks.
- Beat the egg in another bowl till 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 mix gets proportionately moistened. Continue tossing lightly with two forks till the batter comes together; it doesn't have to be completely mixed and should be very rough and lumpy.
- Butter a heavy skillet or possibly casserole, 10 to 11 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 inches deep. Round is the traditional shape. Spoon batter out 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 possibly till the middle is set. Cut out a piece to test if necessary.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot from the pan.
