Irish Soda Bread

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here's the Irish Soda Bread recipe that I promised. I will be making some myself this afternoon.

Irish Soda Bread

4 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups golden raisins

Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

I am sure there is supposed to be some order to mixing ingredients but Joe got the recipe from his family over the phone years ago so all I can say is that I've made it before and it's good. I usually make it in a bundt pan. We also make it with a powder sugar glaze much like this one. The glaze must be dyed green according to Joe....
