Irish Soda Bread

   On another make it yourself mission. This is a pretty easy bread dish, which is probably why I went for it. I'm just proud of myself for making the bread.

Ingredients
    3 cups of all purpose flour
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp cream of tartar
    1/2 tsp of salt
    1 cup of sugar
    1 1/2 cups of golden raisins
    1 1/2 cups of buttermilk
    2 eggs, beaten
    2 tbs of butter, melted


 Directions
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   Sift dry ingredients three times.
   Soak golden raisins in hot water for 5 minutes, drain and add to dry ingredients.
   Mix together buttermilk, eggs and butter, then add to dry ingredients
   Stir until moistened.
   Bake in a greased 2 quart dish at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes.
   Let cool before cutting into wedges.


 Changes I Made!
     None, I'm completely clueless on what makes bread great.


This recipe comes from The Book Lover's Cookbook.

By the Cookbooks

Hello one and all,       Since living on my own, I've fostered a great love for cooking. It's how I show people I care, and I find great comfort in it.       Now, I have a friend who knows this about me and regularly buys me cookbooks as gifts, but I have never used them. I either ask family members for recipes or go online to for recipes. Pinterest has been my diet's best friend. Six cookbooks just sat there, waiting to have their creations made.       After a free weekend, I decided to dig into my 6 cookbooks and have found many new recipes I want to try.      The six cookbooks, all very different, but also represent a different part of my life.      I've picked recipes from:      1) The "I Don't Know How to Cook" Book, 2nd edition by Mary-Lane Kamberg.      2) The Book Lover's Cookbook by Shaunda Kennedy Wenger & Janet Kay Jensen.      3) 100 Perfect D...
