Instructions

Orange Soda Bread

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup orange juice
1 egg
1 cup raisins
1 tablespoon grated orange rind

Sift flour, salt, sugar and baking soda into bowl. Make a hole in the center and pour in buttermilk and orange juice. Mix well. Add eggs, raisins and orange rinds. Beat until smooth. Knead sticky dough quickly on a well floured board. Shape into loaf and cut an "X" across top. Place in a well greased 9-inch round layer cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 55 minutes, or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Drizzle with your favorite glaze. Serve warm or cooled.
