It's that time again. Usually about once a year around March 10th. Irish Soda Bread: Kerry Recipe. Get yourself 2 lovely bowls. One of them should be able to hold about a fluid gallon. The other need not be as large, half the size would be adequate. Find a strong wooden spoon and a decent whisk. Clear about a square yard [square meter] of a table in the kitchen, near the oven. The oven ought to be on and set for 350°F and be heating up while you make the bread. You’ll be making 2 loaves now, because both the recipe and experience require that amount. You could halve the recipe but the frustration and disappointment aren’t worth not having another loaf to eat after you’ve consumed the first. So, be good to yourself and your loved ones and make two. You’ll thank me for the suggestion. In the smaller of the two bowls put all the wets. In the larger bowl put all the drys. Larger bowl: 6 cups of sifted flour, white if your children are American’s, brown is OK, 6 teaspoons of baking powder. Small bowl: 1 cup of sugar, 3 cups of milk, 3 nice eggs, 1.5 quarters of softened margarine or butter. Using the whisk stir the wets until they’re all nicely blended. Take a whole box of raisins [that’s about 15 ounces] and dump them into the drys, use the wooden spoon and mix them evenly through the flour and baking powder. Now, add the wets to the drys and mix your concoction until the mass has the consistency of a cake batter. [That’s what it is after all]. You’ll have two 9 inch round bake pans ready for business with their insides greased and floured so the Irish Soda Bread doesn’t stick because it will, you know, unless you do something about it. Now, using the head God gave you for the purpose, dump half the cake mix into the pan on the left and the other half into the pan on the right. Put the two pans into the middle of the oven cook them for 45 minutes to an hour until a knife plunged into the center comes out clean of any cake mix sticking to it. You can use a tooth-pick but you’ll burn your fingers because they’re too short. If you’ve followed the instructions the Irish Soda Bread will be about 3 to 4 inches high. When the bread has cooled, make your self a nice cup of tea, get some butter and have a go at your creation. You’ll love it!
