Irish Soda Bread with Buttermilk and Raisins Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter

  cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk,

  plus more if needed
• 1/3 cup raisins

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet or cast-iron skillet
  with parchment paper.
• 2 Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large
  bowl. Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse pea-sized crumbs. Add the
  buttermilk and mix just until it begins to come together. Add additional
  buttermilk if necessary until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a
  lightly floured surface, sprinkle the raisins over the top, and knead a few
  times to incorporate.
• 3 Pat the dough into a 6 to 7-inch circle. With a floured knife, cut an “x” into
  the dough, about 1/2 inch deep. Transfer the dough to the parchment-lined baking
  sheet or cast-iron skillet.
• 4 Bake the Irish Soda Bread for 35 to 45 minutes or until the bread is a beautiful
  golden brown. Transfer the soda bread to a rack to cool completely before
  slicing.
