My mother's parents were Irish and my grandma used to make this recipe all the time. She taught it to me when I was about 8 years old. I do hope you enjoy it. Ingredients:
3 cups all−purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
2 tablespoons white sugar |
1/2 cup raisins |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 egg, beaten |
1 cup buttermilk |
2 tablespoons margarine, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a cast iron skillet(with softened butter preferably).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, sugar and cinnamon. Toss the raisins with the flour mixture until coated. Make a well in the center and add the vanilla, egg, buttermilk, and melted margarine.
3. Stir until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few quick turns just to even out the dough. Handle the dough as little as possible. Pat into a flat circle, and place into the prepared pan. Bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden.
