Irish Soda Bread
Irish Soda Bread from Canadian Living Magazine (I think anyway. That bit of the page is torn.)
4 c flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt (I never add this.)
Mix together in biggish bowl.
2 eggs
1 1/2 c buttermilk (If you don't have buttermilk, and I never do, mix about a tablespoon vinegar in just less than the required amount of milk.)
1/3 cup melted butter.
Mix moist ingredients into dry.
Add 1 c raisins. (I used dates today, and it was a much more subtle taste than the raisins give it.)
Sprinkle counter top with some flour. Turn dough out onto it, and give it a few rolls over. Knead just until it rounds its shape.
Place rounded dough into a pie plate and cut a big X onto the top of the loaf.
Bake an hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If you knock on the loaf it should sound hollow.
Cool for 10 minutes, and remove to a wire rack.
