Grandma's Soda Bread 4 cups flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp caraway 1 stick butter cut up 1 cup raisins 1 1/3 cup buttermilk 2 eggs Sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder & baking soda. Stir in caraway. Cut butter in using a fork. Squeeze flour together. Add raisins. Beat buttermilk and eggs and add to flour mixture. Knead about 25 times shape and bake @350 for one hour.
