List of Ingredients




3 1/2 C. all-purpose flour 875 mL
3 T. granulated sugar 50 mL
3/4 C. raisins (optional) 175 mL
1 T. caraway seeds (optional) 15 mL
1 T. baking powder 15 mL
1 tsp. baking soda 5 mL
1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL
1 1/2 C. buttermilk 375 mL
3 T. melted butter 50 mL
1 egg



Recipe



In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, raisins and caraway seeds (if using), baking powder, baking soda and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter and egg; pour over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface; knead lightly just until dough holds together. Place on greased baking sheet; flatten into 9-inch (23 cm) round. With sharp knife, score top into eights. Bake in 375F (190°C) oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until cake tester or wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let pan cool on rack for 5 minutes before serving.

If you make it without the raisins, serve with Roma Downey's Irish Lamb Stew.
