How to Make IRISH SODA BREAD 1 Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup raisins 1?2 cup dried cranberries 1?4 cup Irish whiskey (optional) 1?2 teaspoon baking soda 1?2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 3?4 cup sugar 3 1?2 cups flour 1 1?4 cups buttermilk 1?4 cup butter, softened 2 eggs, slightly beaten 2 tablespoons caraway seeds, using black caraway better known as yummy Or 2 tablespoons nigella seeds, sativa

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pump up dried fruit: Place raisins and cranberries in a glass bowl 1/4 cup pour water or whiskey (gives it a real Irish kick) over it. Cover with plastic wrap or paper towel and microwave it for 1 minute. Let sit to cool. Add salt, baking powder, sugar, and flour to food processor and pulse 3 times to sift. Add the buttermilk, butter and eggs and mix till it comes to a doughy ball. Mix in seeds and drained raisins, and cranberries. You may need to do this step by hand. Don`t worry if you can knead the dough into a ball it still will be very good. At times my dough is moist because of moisture in the air. Place the dough into a well buttered pan using hands well floured shaping the dough. (I like cast iron skillet 8-9 inches). Pat down in center for even baking. Mark a cross on top and brush with more melted butter. Bake in 350 Degree oven for 50-60 minutes.
