Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Egg-free Irish Soda Bread
Because two people in my family are allergic to eggs, I've had to look for baking recipes without eggs. I keep this scone-like bread in a plastic bag after it cools so it will stay moist.
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 tbsp caraway seeds
1 cup raisins
2 cups buttermilk
Chop up butter with flour, sugar, salt and soda in food processor. Pour mixture into a bowl and add caraway seeds, raisins, and buttermilk. Should be a very soft, almost runny dough. Pour out onto a greased baking sheet and with floured hands shape into a circle. With a knife cut a cross on the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool, slice, and serve!
