Ingredients




2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup golden raisins

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 2 In the bowl of a mixer, such as a KitchenAid fitted with a paddle attachment, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until well incorporated. 3 Add the butter and mix. Add the egg. With the mixer on low, slowly add the buttermilk and mix until incorporated. Add the raisins. Note, the dough will be wet. 4 Place the dough on a well floured surface and knead a few times adding additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Form the dough into a round ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, lightly cut an “X” into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. Place in the oven and make for about 45-50 minutes or until firm and hollow when you tap on it. 5 Allow the soda bread to cool on a white rack before slicing. Serve warm with butter.
