Irish Soda Bread	xxxxx	Makes 1 loaf
x
1/2 cup brown sugar		2 tbsp. caraway seeds
2 cups milk		1 tsp. baking soda
2 tbsp. vinegar		2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup raisins		2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. butter, cut into bits and softened		1 tbsp. sugar
4 cups flour

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the brown sugar in milk and add the vinegar.
Soak the raisins in hot water in a separate bowl. In another bowl, combine
the butter with the flour and work it with your fingers until it is blended in.
Squeeze out the water from the raisins and add to the flour mixture, along
with the caraway seeds, baking soda and baking powder. Mix thoroughly,
add the milk mixture, and stir until all ingredients are blended. Melt 1 tbsp
of butter and grease a heavy iron skillet with the other tbsp of butter. Pour
the batter into the skillet and even it out with a spatula. Heat oven to 350
degrees. Sprinkle melted butter over the top of the batter. Do the same
with the sugar. Put skillet into the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until
bread is done. A toothpick inserted into the dough should come out clean.
Remove from oven and turn bread onto a rack and cool completely. Serve.
