GRANDMA MCANDREWS' IRISH SODA BREAD

This is not the dark bread you see in every restaurant in Dublin or Galway these days but I promise, it's authentic Irish Soda Bread, exactly how my late Irish grandma made it. Serve warm or cold with butter. This freezes great. I've made several loaves before St. Patrick's Day, or family parties. I freeze them, take them out the morning they're needed and warm up in a hot oven for 5 -7 minutes before serving.

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
¼ cup corn oil
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and corn oil. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Add the raisins, and stir a few times, just until the ingredients come together into a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and with floured hands shape dough into a ball. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet, and cut a large cross in the top with a sharp knife.
  • Place the bread on a middle rack of the preheated oven, and bake until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

GRANDPA MCANDREW'S IRISH SODA BREAD

My mom bugged grandpa for this recipe but he told her he didn't have one. So, when he made the bread one day she captured each ingredient in a bowl and measured it and put it in the bowl he planned to mix it in!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup raisins
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cast iron skillet.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and sugar. Toss the raisins with the flour mixture until coated. Make a well in the center and add the egg, buttermilk, and melted margarine. Stir until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few quick turns just to even out the dough. Handle the dough as little as possible. Pat into a flat circle, and place into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden.
