My family be Irish. I may have married into the Norwegian culture and learned to make things like lefse, but the Emerald Isles is where my mother’s family hails from. I have been eating this Traditional Irish Soda Bread since I was a wee gal.
I have fond memories of standing next to my mum, in the kitchen, and working on this – but I think I ate more raisins than what actually made it into the bread. Enjoy this recipe and let it take you back to “the old country” when you taste it.

4 to 4 1/2 cups flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
4 Tbsp butter
1 cup raisins
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
In a large bowl add flour, sugar, salt and baking soda, whisk together.
Add butter to flour mixture.
Use fingers or a fork to blend the butter into the flour.
This will look like tiny crumbles.
Add raisins to the mixture and blend together with fingers or a fork.
In a small bowl add egg and buttermilk mix to combine.
Create a hole in center of dough and pour in egg mixture.
Begin to knead liquid into the dough.
Form dough into a ball and let sit to the side while prepping the baking pan.

Transfer dough to baking pan.
Score with an X on the top of the dough.
This will assist in complete baking in the inside of the loaf.
