Irish Soda Bread

4 cups flour

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cups sugar

6 Tbsp. butter, cubed

1 1/2 cups raisins

1 Tbsp. caraway seeds

2 egg

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round pan.

2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Mix in the caraway seeds and raisins.

3. Mix the buttermilk with 1 egg. Mix the remaining egg with 1 tsp. water (set aside).

4. Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Mix just to blend. Turn onto a floured board. Knead 10 times. Place in the pan.

5. Brush the top with the egg wash. Cut an "X" in the top - not deep. 

Bake 45 to 55 minutes. Cool.
