Ingredients
- 2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoon powered sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup buttermilk
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and powdered sugar.
Cut the butter into the flour until the consistency is flaky.
Stir in the raisins and buttermilk and form into a ball.
The dough will be soft.
Place it on a buttered and floured baking tray.
Using a sharp knife, cut an X on the top.
Bake in a 375 degree F preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Serving Directions:
Soda bread is best served still warm, sliced and buttered.
For a twist, you may substitute dried cranberries, sugared orange or lemon peel, dried cherries or small chocolate chips for the raisins.
