I would like to share with you our family's traditional
Irish Bread Recipes which has always been a staple in our
household. These recipes are shared by fellow Hibernians
throughout the Boston area:

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and soda, set
aside. Cream the margarine and sugar. Add beaten egg and
buttermilk, blend well. Add liquid mixture to dry
ingredients. Mix by hand only until dry ingredients are
moistened. Fold in raisins, currants, and caraway seeds.
Pour into greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Brush top with
melted magarine. Sprinkly with a little sugar. Bake at
375 degrees for 30 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees for
30 minutes longer. Test in the middle of the loaf before
removing from oven.JM.
(May be wrapped in aluminum foil and kept in the freezer
for up to 6 months.)* If you do not have buttermilk
available, you can used milk soured by vinegar.
