Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins I used golden raisins, you can also use currants
- 2 teaspoons caraway seed
- ⅔ cup whole buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
- Stir in 1 cup raisins and 2 teaspoons caraway seed. Break apart any clumps of raisins and mix well.
- In another bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together ⅔ cup whole buttermilk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until there are no dry, floury bits left. The dough will be sticky. Don't overwork it.
- Scrape the soda bread dough into a single round in the middle of the parchment paper. Dust a sharp knife with flour and slash an "X" through the center of the loaf.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a cake tester stuck into the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack before slicing to serve.
