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.
