This is my family’s traditional St. Patrick’s Day bread. My grandmother has had this recipe for longer than I’ve been alive. I was SHOCKED to find out this wasn’t real Irish Soda Bread, but instead more commonly known as Spotted Dog. Whatever you call it, it is unbeatable topped with a bit of butter.
Ingredients
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 2 2/3 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
Step 3
Sift flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl.
Step 4
Beat eggs with milk in a separate bowl.
Step 5
Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until moistened; batter will be very thick.
Step 6
Fold in raisins until thoroughly combined.
Step 7
Spread batter into prepared cast iron skillet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until bread has risen and is golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
Cook’s Note:
For two smaller loaves, divide batter into two greased 8-inch round cake pans and bake for 45 minutes.
