How to make irish soda bread:

In large bowl, stir dry ingredients until thoroughly blended. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until crumbly. In a separate bowl, beat egg slightly and mix with buttermilk; stir in dry ingredients and raisins until blended. Turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth (2 to 3 minutes).

Divide dough in half and shape each half into a smooth, round loaf; place each loaf in a greased 8-inch cake or pie pan. Press down until dough fills pans. With a sharp knife, cut crosses in tops of loaves about 1/2-inch deep.

Bake in a 375° oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until nicely browned. Makes 2 loaves.
