Irish Soda Bread
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cut raisins or currants
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
Buttermilk
Oven: 375/350 degrees
Mix and sift the flour, baking powder, soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the fruit and seeds. Stir in enough buttermilk to give a soft dough. Knead lightly upon a floured board until stickiness disappears.
Form into a flat loaf and place in a greased round pan. Cut a cross in the top of the dough with a sharp knife. Bake ten minutes at 375 degrees. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until the loaf browns and shrinks from the pan. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack. Makes one small loaf.
