Default Irish Soda Bread 4





Irish Soda Bread Recipe









6 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup sugar

1 pound raisins

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 caraway seeds to taste

(usually 1/8 cup

1 quart buttermilk







Mix all the dry ingredients in a LARGE bowl. Mix in caraway and raisins. Mix
in buttermilk. It helps to use your hands to mix this because the dough is
sticky DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC MIXER. I did this a couple of times and the
bread came out very flat. Divide batter into two buttered cake pans. Flour a
knife and cut a cross into the tops of each. Bake at 350 for about an hour.
The top should not be allowed to get to brown. Source: It was my
Grandmother's (Tom Purcia) recipe from county Mayo in Ireland. Re-Posted by
