Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; add softened butter and mix until evenly moistened. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour 1 cup buttermilk, egg, and 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur into the well; add raisins to the buttermilk mixture. Knead mixture until raisins are spread throughout the dough. Form dough into a disk and cut an 'X' into the top of the dough; place onto prepared baking sheet and set aside. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir 1/4 cup buttermilk and 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur into the melted butter until smooth; remove from heat and generously brush liquid over the dough. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in preheated oven, brushing liquid onto loaf every 15 minutes, until no longer doughy in the center, about 45 minutes. Let bread cool on pan for 10 minutes before moving to a cooking rack to cool completely. (65 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk.
The 'X' cut into the top of the bread helps it to bake evenly.
Be careful not to over-knead the dough, as this can make the bread tough.
Serve warm with a dollop of Irish cream or butter for an extra touch of indulgence.

    The bread was a little dry. Next time, I'll try adding a bit more buttermilk.
