Irish Rosie's Irish Soda Bread

---

This irish soda bread recipe was passed on to me by a dear friend of my mother's who was born and raised in ireland. It's the best irish soda bread i have ever had. It is much higher, lighter and softer than most other recipes i have seen. It has an excellent flavor and texture, as well.

Steps

Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

---

In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream.

---

Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.

---

Batter will be very thick.

---

Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or knead in with your hands.

---

Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan.

---

Dust the top with enough flour so that you can pat the batter like a bread dough evenly in the pan without it sticking to your hands.

With a knife make a shallow crisscross on the top.

Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350f oven.
