Irish Soda Bread

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 Tbsp butter, melted (for brushing top)
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup raisins
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients
EXCEPT the 1 Tbsp butter; mix just until moistened. Place in a greased
9-inch round baking pan and bake for one hour or until a knife inserted in
the center comes out clean. After removing from oven,
brush the top with the 1 Tbsp melted butter. Makes 6-8 servings.

I have used less than the required milk everytime, about 1/2 cup less. I
have gotten the mixtures too wet every time, try cutting back the milk
more.
