Sweet Irish Bread
Description
A sweet breakfast bread with raisins that tastes most excellent toasted.
Ingredients
•
1/4 cup butter
•
1 cup white sugar
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
•
1 pinch salt
•
1 cup sour cream
•
1 cup raisins
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. I use a glass one.
2
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; stir into the sour cream mixture until just blended. Fold in raisins. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.
3
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the crown, comes out clean.
