Soda breads are a snap to make—no rising and very little kneading.
Ingredients
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs - beaten
- 1 stick butter - softened
- 1 1/4 cups raisins
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk, butter and egg until well mixed; stir in raisins.
- Knead several times on a lightly floured board then shape into a ball. Place on prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly.
- Cut a small x in the top and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
