With just a couple of ingredients and five minutes to whip together, it is the perfect side to any hearty soup or stew.

Step 2: Then add softened butter to dry ingredients until it is well mixed.
Step 3: In a small bowl mix together the buttermilk and egg.
Step 4: Then add buttermilk and egg mixture into dry ingredients until well mixed.
Step 5 : Then mix raisins with a little bit of flour and add raisins into batter. Knead them into dough batter.
Step 6: Place dough on a floured work surface and knead. Shape into a round loaf. Then place on parchment-covered cookie sheet and cut a cross in the top. Bake for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350ºF and cook for another 15-20 minutes.

Well that was definitely a lot easier than I would expect, I would love to try making this.
This is not Irish soda bread, this is a barmbrack, real soda bread is made mostly in the north, it has no fruit in it and is fried or toasted, what you are showing is the American version.

We love St. Patrick's Day. Each year my husband makes an awesome corned beef. It brines for 10 days! He'll start brining this week. This Irish Soda bread will make an awesome addition to our St. Paddy's Day meal plan.
