 This Irish soda bread is just perfect for a hearty morning tea or an after-school snack for hungry kids. It is best eaten fresh, but leftovers (if you have any) are delicious thinly sliced, lightly toasted and topped with honey.
Ingredients: 4 cups plain flour 1 cup white sugar 1 tsp bicarb soda 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 eggs 500ml sour cream 2 tbsp buttermilk 1 cup currants (in a pinch I've used sultanas, but currants are best) 1 tsp caraway seeds - traditional, but optional (I never add them, I don't use them for anything else) Method: Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Grease two 20cm x 10cm loaf tins and line the bases with baking paper. Mix the flour, sugar, bicarb soda, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, sour cream, buttermilk, currants and caraway seeds. Mix until just combined. This will be a very thick, very lumpy batter. Distribute batter evenly between the two pans. Bake loaves for 1 hour or until nicely browned. Do not over bake. Best served immediately with butter.
