Irish Rosie's Irish Soda Bread-contains dairy and eggs

[Guest guest]

I got this recipe off of another website and tried it for St.

Patrick's day. It was so good that my daughter requests it all of

the time. It's pretty light, and it reminds me of scones. If you

don't like the taste of rye, just leave out the caraway seeds, but I

always put them in.

 

1 nine inch springform pan

 

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 pint sour cream

2 eggs

2 Tbs caraway seeds (optional)

3/4 cup raisins

 

Procedure:(Preheat oven to 350F)

1. Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

2. In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream.

3. Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and

stir with a wooden spoon. Batter will be very thick.

4. Add raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or

knead with your hands (batter is very very very sticky!)

5. Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan and pat the dough

down into the pan so that it fits into it.

6. Dust the top with enough flour and pat the top of the bread dough

again so that it fits evenly in the pan. At this point the dough

shouldn't stick to your hands.

7. With a knife, make a shallow crisscross on the top.

8. Bake at 350 for approximately 50 min. I start checking at 40

minutes and then every 10 minutes. My baking time has varied +/-10

minutes. Check with a toothpick or fork. It should come out clean

when it is done.
