Cranberry Soda Bread With Lime Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 lime, grated peel and juice

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/3 cup milk and the lemon juice; let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Rub in the butter until coarse crumbs form, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cranberries.

3. 3

   Beat the egg into the milk mixture; stir into the flour mixture until just combined. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it just comes together; form into an 8-inch round and place on the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, score a 1/2-inch-deep "X" in the round. Bake until dark golden and crusty, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
