[quote=Anonymous]This is the Irish Soda Bread Recipe from an old cook book full of excellent recipes.

4 cups unbleached AP flour
2 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoon unsalted butter or shortening
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups buttermilk or sour milk (Sour milk made with 1 1/3 c milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cups dried currants or raisins
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
Extra flour, for dusting

In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in the butter or rub between fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the baking soda and salt and stir with fingers. Add buttermilk, egg, currants, and caraway seeds; mix until smooth. Turn out onto a floured work surface.

Shape the dough into a ball, smooth side up, and gently press the top down. Sift or dust flour over the top and place on an ungreased baking sheet, an 8 inch pie an, or cake pan, or a cast iron skillet. Cut two 1/4 inch slashes from end to end in the form of a cross. The cuts will expand in the oven and give the bread its traditional shape.

Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven until the crust feels firm when touched lightly in the center with your fingertips, about 45 minutes. If the center is still soft, continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes more.
