How to Make Nana's Irish Soda Bread With Whiskey Soaked Raisins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup Irish whiskey and 2 tablespoons honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup raisins (or currants). Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for at least 15 minutes.
- Grease a 1 1/2 to 2-quart round baking dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs. Stir in 1 cup sour cream until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the whiskey-soaked raisins.
- Turn the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Lightly dust the top with flour and pat the batter evenly into the pan with your hands.
- Using a sharp knife, score a cross on top of the dough.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out onto a serving dish.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm with butter.
