Irish Soda Bread!

Hey every one, So I just made this for the first time! It was really pretty good! Dad doesn't like raisins.. So I was thinking you could change it around and put cranberries in it if you don't like raisins like my dad!! :)


4c. sugar                                  2c. raisins ( or cranberries)
1/4c. sugar                               1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
2tsp. baking powder                1 1/2c. buttermilk
1tsp. salt                                  1tsp. baking soda
4.tbl cold butter                        1tbl. heavy cream

preheat over to 350*
In a large bowl mix flour,sugar ,baking powder,salt, Add butter and with a pastry blender,blend together! Fold in raisins!
In a small bowl mix buttermilk,egg and baking soda! Add egg mixture to flour mixture using a spatula, mix together until the dough just comes together! Place on a baking sheet and form into a domed loaf!
In a small bowl whisk together egg yoke and cream, brush over the loaf!
Place in oven and bake for about an hour or until golden brown!!

I had fun making this hope you will too!!
