Irish Soda Bread is one of my favorite foods. My grandmother used to make this for us whenever we visited her as kids and I will never forget the soft, fluffy bread dotted with sweet raisins. She would spread each still warm slice with loads of butter which would seep into the bread creating a taste sensation you can’t imagine with such simple ingredients.
To make this bread couldn’t be easier – no kneading required! Start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, sour cream and raisins and mix together until just combined. Divide the bread mixture between 2 loaf pans and bake for an hour. Serve with lots and lots of butter.
To make my Irish Soda Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, 1 cup of white sugar, a teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
Add 3 eggs, a pint of sour cream and 1 cup of raisins. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until just combined.
Distribute the bread mixture evenly between two greased loaf pans.
Bake the loaves in the oven for an hour. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
Serve with slabs of farmhouse butter and hot cups of tea.
