County Cork Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with a thin layer of grease and then dusting it generously with flour, resulting in a 9-inch round baking dish.
3
Mix together self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and softened butter in a large mixing container using a pastry cutter until the resulting mixture has a coarse, crumbly texture.
4
Introduce raisins to the mixture and stir until they are evenly distributed.
5
Measure out a cup of milk in a separate container, and whisk it together with an egg to create a smooth, creamy liquid.
6
Mix the milk mixture gently into the flour mixture until it forms a cohesive, dough-like consistency.
7
Carefully transfer the dough to your prepared baking dish, and brush the top surface with a small amount of milk - just enough to create a golden brown crust.
8
Place the bread in the preheated oven, and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius.
9
Bake for a total of 1 hour, allowing the bread to cook evenly and thoroughly.
10
Once the bread has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool before serving.
