Irish Soda Bread


This is really good served warm w/butter and jam. It is kind of like a great, big biscuit. I serve it on St. Patrick's Day and with other meals throughout the year. I shamelessly use half whole wheat flour and half white flour in this recipe (as I do in almost all baked goods I make from scratch).

Combine dry ingredients and cut in butter until crumbly:

3 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 heaping T. sugar
1 heaping tsp. baking powder
1 heaping tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. butter

Make a well in center of above mixture and add:
1 1/2 C. buttermilk

Mix and roll into a ball and then roll in flour. Place the ball in a greased, round pan. Slice a 1/2-in. deep "X" across the top w/a buttered knife. Bake at 350 for 35-40 min. or until deep golden brown.
