Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients:
3 Cups flour
¾ Cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1-1/2 cups golden raisins
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
1. In a large bowl, whisk together sifted flour,
sugar, baking powder, cream of tarter, raisins, and baking soda. Blend in the softened butter
2.
Beat eggs in a small bowl
3.
Mix milk and lemon juice in a third bowl, whip
up until it thickens. Let set for 5 minutes
4.
Add vanilla extract to milk/lemon mix
5.
Add all the wet ingredients to the dry and knead
together until well blended. If mixture is
too sticky, add more flour until your fingers are no longer sticky.
6.
Put in a pan that is well greased and floured. A
large pie pan will work well.
7.
Put a cross on top. Then a little flour or
sugar. I like sugar.
8.
Bake at 350 F. for 50 minutes. Check with a
toothpick and make sure it comes out dry. If it doesn’t, continue to cook and
check until done.
9.
Take it out of the oven and let it cool. Serve
it warm with butter. Awesomelicious!! Thanks Maureen Cushing-Weed!!!!
