Irish Soda Bread Recipe- anyone have a good one?
Nana's Irish Soda Bread (straight from off the boat):
2.5 cup flour
1/4 lb butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup currants (optional - my g-ma doesn't like them)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk (made by putting 2 Tblsp white vinegar in the milk)
mix dry ingredients
cut in butter (which can be softened by being left out over night)
mix
add raisins
mix well
take lump of batter in hands, flour board surface, and knead dough, adding a little flour as you go.
do this until consistency is correct (I think you have to be 87 and Irish to know exactly what "correct" is here, but you'll get the idea)
325 for an hour.
