Authentic Irish soda bread does not contain raisins, but I like mine with raisins so I include them. This is a very easy and delicious recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the buttermilk into a small bowl; place remainder of 1 cup buttermilk into a separate bowl.
- Stir golden raisins into the larger amount of buttermilk and allow raisins to soak while you complete the remaining steps.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the melted butter into the small bowl with the tablespoon of buttermilk; stir to combine and set aside. Set remaining melted butter aside.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in reserved butter, and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix the egg into the flour mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Mix the soaked raisins with buttermilk into dough and shape dough into a ball.
- Place the ball of dough into prepared pie dish and lightly pat dough down so top is slightly domed.
- Use a sharp knife to cut two crisscrossing lines through the center of the loaf about 1/4 inch deep.
- Thoroughly brush buttermilk and butter mixture over the loaf, getting the mixture into the crevices.
- Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour.
