Peg Bracken's Irish Soda Bread Adapted

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 1 1/2 cups sour milk
• 1 1/2 tablespoons caraway seeds

Directions

1. 1

   Make the sour milk by adding 1 1/2 tbs vinegar to 1 1/2 cups milk.

2. 2

   Grease an 8x8 pan well.

3. 3

   Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix in the oil until crumbly and meal-like.

4. 4

   Mix in raisins and caraway seed.

5. 5

   Add sour milk. Mix well. You will have a soft, biscuit-like dough rather than a batter.

6. 6

   Bake at 350 35-45 minutes or until done.

7. 7

   Note -- this can be dropped from a spoon and baked as biscuits instead if that better suits your needs. Increase the heat to 400 and decrease the cooking time to 8-12 minutes according to how big you made them.
