You have to make Irish Soda Bread on St Pat's
Here's my mum's recipe:
2 cups flour
1 cup quick cooking or old fashioned oats (not instant)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbl baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
mix above ingredients in a bowl, cut in 3 tbl soft butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender
add 1/3 cup raisins and 1 cup milk
knead on a lightly floured suface 1or 2 min., shape into a round loaf approx 6 1/2 in.
place on a greased cookie sheet, cut an x about 1/2 in. deep across top of loaf, brush with a beaten egg wash, bake at 375 until golden brown approx. 35-45 min
a toohpick inserted in the center should come out dry.
Happy St Patty's Day!
