Goldie’s Irish Soda Bread

Step 1: Set oven to 300° . Butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Sift together the dry ingredients. Using a food processor with the steel blade or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas.

Step 2: Blend in the raisins and caraway seeds. Beat the egg, buttermilk, and sour cream together until blended. Stir the egg mixture into the dry mixture just until blended.

Step 3: Transfer the batter to the pan and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. May have to bake a little longer, or turn the oven up the last 10 minutes. I've done it all three ways, depending on the oven I'm using.
